I feel pretty today
Looking in the mirror at my less than perfect reflection
thinking, “Man, I need a tan”
I start to laugh
My gap tooth reflection smiles back at me
I look and feel great
I feel pretty
Cosmo, Vogue etc. may not agree
But who cares… I think I’m cute
My lips and hips may be thicker than they’d recommend
And… yes I do need to exercise more
And I could stand to lose more than a few pounds
But…I still look good
I feel pretty
My nails are done, minus the acrylic
My hair is fly and chemical free
Pretty pink toe nails in my traditional black ahenema
You can’t tell me that I’m not the shit
Throw on my shades as I walk out the door
Haute!!!
