LatinitasMagazine.org - A Strong Voice for Latina Youth
My Beauty is...
My beauty is gapped teeth
Round nose, full cheeks
Mahogany flesh, rough palms
Fingers spindly, legs long
My beauty is an imperfect silhouette
A belly that folds
Arms that swing low
Collar bones that show
My beauty is a black dot on my toe
Hair that coils
A gait that is royal
A heart that is loyal to a special few
My beauty is an out-of-tune shower opera
An untamed guffaw
An ungraceful fall
My beauty is perfect timing
Broadway star- miming
My beauty is me. My beauty is mine

This was a wonderful poem! It's inspiring and refreshing to see a woman embracing her beauty rather than pick at the flaws!
