There's so much to this face than lush lips, perfect eyebrows, kinky jet-black hair and piercing eyes. Behind this melanin is a wild heart, a fleshy mound carrying the sacrifices of a line of strong women. Undiluted love, living in every shade of their colour.

Untamed, that is the essence I carry - every strand of stray hair to the dents on my nose. Swim into my stares, do you feel that smoothness? Journey into the pools my eyes make, can you count the bumps I hold?

I'm broken, I know. I'm beautiful, I'm also aware. I'm broken and yes, it's beautiful. So take more than a glance at other faces like mine, don't evade the cuts. The scars, piece them together with the puzzle. You'll discover that there's more to the word, Untamed. That there's more, to me.
