Mystique

I am not Mystique.
I do not want to pretend to be.
I do not want to pretend.
To play dress-up.
To make myself up.
I want to be me.
Pure, clean, fresh, flawed, me.

I am not a symbol.
I am not a stereotype.
I am not an icon.
I am not a placebo, tricking you into thinking I'm something I'm not.

I am me.
Pure, clean, fresh, flawed, me.

I don't paint my face.
I don't point my toes.
I don't replace myself season by season.

I am me.
Pure, clean, fresh, flawed, me.
Simply. Comfortably. Me.
