I find inspiration among distant faces
Each one solidifies a part of history that no one can explain
Viewed with disdain are the various shades of lip stains permanently etched
Each story different and with recognition each lie can become exposed
Dig deep and you shall find the diamond in the coal mine
True beauty with the glimpse of the sun rising in the horizon
Forgotten cultures intermingled within one
Creating an undeniable pact with unreliable facts
Untraceable celebrations and unthinkable recreations
History runs like an unrelenting waterfall with stories that are untold
Aspirations of acceptance and true love for mankind still exists in the souls of dreamers
Being instead of seeking what is heartfelt and true
The mirror reflects what was always seen
Beauty is not only true for ourselves but for everyone else
Beauty and true can be found among distant faces
Skin tones ranging from dawn to midnight
Each one singing a different tone each tune creating a melody
The reality of creation cannot be denied or misidentified
Windows of the soul exposed validating what we all share
What we all love, things we fear, varying textures of the same grade of hair
Diversity should be celebrated and appreciated
There is inspiration among distant faces
Each one solidifying a part of history that no one can explain
