Take away the makeup on my face,
take away the fashionable dresses off my body,
take away the mambojambo that comes out of my mouth,
take away the smile plastered on my face,
take away the flattery used to please others.
I am nothing.

I've realised that people don't see I have intelligence. They only see a pretty face and smile. It makes me sad because I know I have so much worth. I have a kind soul, gentle heart, immense empathy and intelligence to match. I have intelligence because sometimes I question things and defy the norms. I have intelligence because I don't need others to lead me to my path. I have intelligence because I have a kind soul, gentle heart and immense empathy.
