Wishing for the perfect raven waves to fall voluminously on my bare shoulders

Wanting the get-up that'll make heads turn and compliment

Desiring for the face that's free from the hostage of red, angry dots

Dreaming of the beautiful combination of browns so it feels easier to stare into the eyes of 

people

Instead there's unpredictable, tangled locks mangled on my insecure shoulders

Get-ups that don't flash or make me feel amazing

A face decorated with blemishes, stubborn enough to not want to go away

Dark brown eyes concealed behind thick frames of glass, scared to even glance at others

And that's me.

Unflattering, awkward, insecure

And I'll always want my dreams

Pretty, graceful, confident

I'll always want my dreams.
