Unfiltered

In a world 

where pain is beauty 

and suffering is fashion 

you make sweatpants look sexy. 

I crave your 

messy hair  

and unabridged authenticity

holding out your hand

you say 

there is nothing more attractive 

than a woman comfortable in her own skin

I smile 

rolls and blemishes 

and relish in

the cozy haze 

of unfiltered love

Short poems in my eyes are the best and this one is so raw with emotions. Really good Crystal.

This is a beautiful write Crystal... and it's true. Nothing sexier than a woman comfortable in her own skin and nothing more awesome than a guy who loves her for who she is. A perfect combination :) Great work :)

Crystal, This is great. You pepper the piece with writing flecked with negative connotations ('pain is beauty' and 'messy hair'), suggesting a couple finding each other, avoiding each's imperfections but fitting into a comfortable mold. The perfect relationship? Yeah, that is exactly the kind that has the staying power to last, holding hands and giggling. Super write! take care...dan

It's short but yet it has so much emotion!
Keep it up!
