Beauty

Beauty

You may think you know what it is-
Though others may not agree

They say, “You’re pretty or you’re not.”
But it doesn’t matter what they see.

Who can say what the word really means?
People view things so differently.
Others have their own meaning of the word-
Never determine “what you are,” accordingly.

There are no conditions-
There is no, “either you are or you’re not.”
Each one holds beauty deep inside-
This is far better than being “hot”

It cannot even be measured by your looks-
Whether you are skinny or you’re fat.
They are all irrelevant terms
Because beauty is far better than that!

Those who think they know just what it is
Have been blinded by the world
They see you by their definition of the word
And fail to see the amazing you unfurled.

All that matters is that you know-
You have beauty in and out!
They may say, “You are or you’re not.”
But I say you are without a single, solitary doubt!
