My poem ‘My Beauty Regime’ below is based on how strong a woman can be despite the various ups and downs life has to offer. I have penned this down from my own personal experiences. It’s not necessary to be perfect but definitely being Real is what counts. With confidence, positivity and beauty in heart and soul, she can conquer her hard days. A woman always has a crown on her. She just needs to straighten it, wear her confidence and walk like a Queen. Beauty is internal. My poem shows the beauty regime a woman needs to follow.
My poem:
***********
//My Beauty Regime//
I have stilettos of Strength
And I wear them with pride
Shoulders back and chin up,
I take everything in my stride.
Confidence is my best attire
Beautifying my wardrobe,
It makes me attractive and fearless,
I feel I can take on the globe.
I carry a handbag of my favourite colour
In it I have Faith, Hope and Love
They make my days bright and beautiful
And I move on with blessings from above.
I am the Queen walking with grace
And I never forget to straighten my crown
My smile is the best curve I possess
I like to spend my days without a frown.
A quick dab of lipstick
And I am ready for the day,
All set to conquer the world
Keeping worries at bay.
Nothing more is needed
To make my life worthwhile,
Beauty is in my heart and mind
That I have adorned with a smile.
With a never say never attitude
I try to make my life grand,
Embracing every little joy
I walk with Positivity hand in hand.
This is my everyday beauty regime
But you will not find the perfect me,
I am with flaws and scars
Yet you will definitely find the Real me.
