Beauty queen

I wanted to scream in her face

tell her she is beautiful in every single way

make sure she knows 

she should never believe

the ones who tore her down when she was young

made her think

the way her skin turned red

the way her hips dipped just a little too much

(not too much at all)

the way her hair fuzzed in the heat

the way her hands had spots

like the stars that covered her face

the way her thighs danced when she ran

I noticed all the things about her

that made her cave in on herself

made her think

I am not enough

and say only a goddess

in the body of a mortal girl

and I plan on making sure

she knows what a beauty queen she is
