Perfect

You’re perfect just the way you are,
but here’s a serum for that scar.
Love yourself, embrace your face,
but first, some contour 

you know, just in case.

Confidence is sold in jars,
happiness is in push-up bras.
Lashes longer, waistline thinner,
buy the look that makes you a winner

Bare is bold if done just right,
“no makeup” takes an hour a night.
Natural beauty? Oh yeah, for sure
but only after this Dior.

They call it power, call it choice,
but only if you pay the price.
So tell me, is it self-esteem,
or just the cost of being seen?
