Red rimed

I like the look of day old makeup staining the rims of my eyes
A red hue underneath and a seemingly thicker lash framing my eyes

I like the look of my hair the day before it needs a wash
Not too fluffy and just enough grease to look like it's not actually greasy

I like my smile, more so now
But I have always liked it...
Sometimes I think a see a curtain light in my eyes I hadn't seen in awhile when I smile
I think it's beautiful

I am capable of seeing myself as beautiful.

Maybe not as a whole, but piece by piece, smile by smile
Maybe one day I will, and I'm ecstatic to be in that someday mind, as I know my physical won't and never will really matter

I'm content, but fighting

Something I learned not a lot of people are.

I am learning to love,
