Skin is only so deep.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
The skin, the lips, the love, we see what we want to see.
Even ugly can spoil the goods.
To say you love yourself more then someone else, true narcissistic behaviour.
Beauty the way to carry yourself with such grace.
The confidents in others this is what I envy.
It's never easy, little skinned beauty inside and out.
Do you see how I feel?
Do you see how I'm not confident?
My skin maybe apart of me, and it's not what defines me.
Racism is real, a hate that a lot feel.
Break the cycle.

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.

What a beautiful poem! It really resonates with the idea that true beauty comes from within. I believe that taking care of our skin is just as important as nourishing our bodies from the inside out. Recently, I've been using an Anti-Aging Face Moisturizer, and it has made a noticeable difference in the appearance and texture of my skin. It's reassuring to find products that not only enhance outer beauty but also promote overall skin health. Have you had any experiences with skincare products that have had a positive impact on your skin and confidence?
