Marie Hines Beauty
Lines tally themselves at my eyes
A gift of time and years of laughter
My age is my virtue
My lips a little crooked when they slide in a smile
Give me kisses to remember
Perfect in my imperfection
Don’t change me, no
Don’t save me,
I’m just fine
And I’m better off without you
Don’t change me, no
Don’t try and save me,
I’m alright
And I’m better off without you
A few too many freckles at the tip of my nose
I’m not the perfect zero
But my curves are my virtue
I’ve got no secrets, I’ll bare my soul
Nothing to hide when a heart is open, oh
I am more than my reflection
We’re all searching for ourselves
Standing before our own eyes
Begging to be noticed
Snowflakes aren’t formed in a mold
Flowers don’t choose their shades
And butterflies don’t paint their wings
Don’t change me, no
Don’t try and save me,
I’m alright
And I’m better off without you
Don’t change me, no
Don’t try and save me,
I’m alright
And I’m better off without you
You told me
I should be younger, I should be thinner
Brighter, lighter, taller, softer, smaller
Am I not more than that?
