BEAUTY IN DENIAL

 

I was born exceptional 

denied by my marks and skin patterns

characterized by my looks

people pulls people down with words 

I was demoralized 

mentally tortured to fight my own course 

my birth became my depression 

a passage I wasn’t aware of 

we are few on this pedestal 

many of us resulted to suicide because of rebuke 

the strong ones are dangling on a tiny thread 

the weak one’s only hope is their breathe 

I never signed to be born like this 

nature played a fast one on me 

but this pattern is grossly beautiful 

my uniqueness spots me out 

another me is hard to find 

this beauty is hard to deny

I feel like I’m illuminous in the dark 

my glow shines light on my path
