Girl

don’t get caught up

playing

follow the followers

following

trend setters

false image

of tomorrow

or borrowers

forgetting

the power is

in your inside

no longer

caught up in

ego’s insecurity

that pretend lie

unaware try

to defend

pride

but my dear

you should not care

your pretty

resides within

beautiful beneath

what hides your skin

when you wake up

don’t cover up

with make up

cuz under cover

your defined by

a divine design

so one of a kind

a work of art

worth more

your heart

your mind

then all the

diamonds

they mine

combined

your shine

I don’t mind

and it don’t

matter

if they do

we’re just fine

trust me

its true

ill just be

ME

and you can

just be

YOU
