Despite the scars on my face,

The absent teeth

And the broken smile

I am beautiful

The broken nose bridge and the missing hair clump are really nothing to go by

I am beautiful

I will repeat, even if I’m the only one to say so

I am beautiful

I will tell myself, even if I evade the mirror like a coward

The first time was an impulse (atleast that’s what I thought)

But then,

The regularities grew

The extremity increased

And the want of a cause disappeared

To save non-existent pride and honour, I bore it all

Just like the many before me did,

With me do,

And after me will

I am beautiful

Though the blood clots tell a different tale

I am beautiful

I care not for the permanent limp

My mind plays games with me

Making habit clear all sensation of pain
