Her beauty is pain

She does her daily routine

grooming her hair, brushing her teeth

she shaved today, she moisturized

one look in the mirror

she's careful not to stare too long or shell change her mind

today she wants to be comfortable but she wants to stand out

today her beauty brightens hers day


She gets up she does her daily routine should she groom her hair? nah not today

she doesn't want to moisturize

she tried to avoid her own eye contact

she stares in the mirror, why try today or any day?

why'd does wanting beauty bring me pain?

why cant I be okay with who I am always


Another day she does her routine

maybe she'll try today maybe she'll be okay

even if she doesn't try, she knows its okay to not be perfect

but yet her beauty is pain
