Love Yourself

When I was younger I hated my freckles. I remember thinking boys don't like freckles. I even tried every night for a month scrubbing my face trying to get them off. I wanted an anti "freckle juice" (Do any of you remember that story?) I will never forget the time my mom took me to the doctors and I sat up on the table and asked my doctor how to get my freckles off. He proceeded to tell me I could not take them off, it is where angels kissed me. I slept with one eye open for a week making sure I was not assualted with any more angel kisses across my nose than I already had. Even now days I think I have trouble coming across as cute vs sexy. I always hear "you are so cute" and I was convinced it is because of the freckles. Then Victorias Secret came out with this...
Marisa Miller... She has freckles and men think she is sexy... it is not the Maxim "Cute" 100 list she made. Maybe I need a "How to be Sexy for Dummies" since I can no longer blame my freckles for my sexy-less-ness (yes i just invented that word) I feel like I should have out grown "cute" a while ago. I guess I will have to learn to come to terms with myself and know my freckles are exactly where they are supposed to be.

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?

My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but, what she knows

But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the game

A misconception, a vast deception Something's gotta change

but, Don't be offended this is all my opinion ain't nothing that I'm sayin law

This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with y'all

So get in where you fit in go on and shine

Clear your mind, now's the time

Put your salt on the shelf

Go on and love yourself'

Cuz everything's gonna be all right
