Uniqua Smith: Week 4 Response:

Beauty, BEAUTY, belleza?
Beauty comes in all shapes AND forms.
Belleza, belleza?
No clue if that's the right word to describe "IT"
I recognize it's differential beauty though.
A word that's different doesn't make the language any less beautiful.
So why doesn't the world see this.
BEAUTIFUL people exist in different ShApEs and colors.
This world is so unrecognizable sometimes
Or maybe it's so recognizable that it baffles me.
Am I the ignorant one for expecting more.
I want no, no, no. I demand more for my people, for my sisters
For those that don't recognize themselves as beautiful.
Beauty shouldn't be what we attain to be
right?...
Right!
It should be something we were born with.
Didn't your mom and dad tell you, you were beautiful, or something?
What gives anyone the right to take that feeling, that belief in who you are...what you were born with, Away.
That's not a question that's a demand.
You're beautiful.
We're beautiful and no one gets to tell us otherwise.
Society knows nothing about us, about what we've had to go though, what we've had to spend and take away from our bodies to look like,well...Beauty.
To look Beautiful.
Pam says we find beauty in ordinary things, and we do, but we're not ordinary.
Abnormal is...it's the best, it's, hmmm...
It's the most BEAUTIFUL.
