Imperfections

Location

You don't think that your beautiful so you doubt  yourself, its come to the point that the $5 dollar Gucci bag that you copped on canal street and the fake eyelashes know more about yourself than you do. Baby girl You let your coach shoes coach you in order to impress that boy that doesn't even want to know you,. Its not true that  Society won't love you until you love yourself.  Society won't ever love you, there's always going to be someone putting you down, making you sad, hating on you, talking behind your back and that's why you have to love yourself. . You see You don't have to spend your hours , liking Facebook pictures that you posted months ago so it can pop up on everyone's newsfeed. Facebook likes are nothing more than Facebook likes, the people with the most Facebook friends are lonely in real life. You can be  Facebook famous on the book but unknown in the heart. Baby girl you don't have to stand on line in the cold for the Taxi12's or the gammablues, History repeats itself, slaves were whipped and chained and now all we want are whips and chains, they be like Jacob you don't get fly that's because I don't care about materialistic thangs. And when the day comes that my daughter walks in from school with a book bag full of pain, A heart that has been torn into little pieces, and a mind that keeps replaying the words your ugly, I don't want you, your not attractive, I will take her hand and I will remind her that her imperfections and insecurities are what make her beautiful. That their are different categories of beautiful and she's in a category all by herself. I will tell her that love is essentially a game.  that love is alot like Derrick rose the way it hurts us so often. That they only see her for her imperfection's but when her eye gleams it matches the beauty of her skin complexion. I will tell her that the boy who loves you at your worst time and makes it look like your best day is the one for you. That the boy who's presence can overshadow your flaws  is the boy that's is truly yours. That the boy who challenges you to wipe off that makeup, take off the eyelashes is not a boy actually but a man. So ladies if you walked up to your man with no Jordon's on, your makeup not done, your hair all a mess, no weave, will your boyfriend still "Love" you?
