What is Love?
Chapter 1: My mother meets a man.
She thinks she loves him, but she doesn’t know what love is.
A one night stand with a perfect stranger is not love.
I am flawless.
I am not flawless because of the amount of money I own
Nor am I flawless due to the color of my skin.
The length of my hair does not make me flawless
and neither do the clothes I wear.
My body is considered a masterpiece,
built by the wonderful almighty,
with wonderful curves that shape my atmosphere,
and the way I think about myself,
I am what Im not,
you are what you eat.
It simple really,
thigs aren't what they seem.
Boys and girls,
black and white,
Im neither you see,
a genuine work of art.
Oh, binary,
I was born just like this,
For others' feelings I'm considerate,
My heart is always growing,
