For the women, especially, who struggle to realize their own beauty without a bit of a push from someone nearby
Let me help you find your beauty
the perfect shade to match your eyes
that open to the soul inside.
I want you to wear it
like a favorite old shirt
a comforting burst
of your favorite perfume.
I will tell you that you’re beautiful
but I won’t condescend.
I will tell you that you’re perfect
but I won’t lie to that end.
Let me help you find that beauty
in yourself, in your honesty
your flaws are your best qualities.
Let me place you at a mirror
let me traverse your body
step by slow step
a journey of mutual discovery.
