NATURALLY SO

Look at them nails...
Not polished, not manicured
Full of cuticles, ragged edges and completely misshapen
Naturally so

In its own way, it is beautiful
But you have to give it a second glance
Cast aside your scales of prejudice and societal norm
And you would see it in all its heady stance
It is beautiful, naturally so.

So I talk, I gesture gracefully....
Showing them off proudly
I worked hard for those nails!
Can't hide them even if I wanted to
Some might say sadly, 
They are always on display
Naturally so
