"Beauty"
What's wrong with our world
Is what we first see
We judge each other based on
Something only skin deep
We fail to look past
What's only proven to be true
We fail to look past
The mirror we look into
We think beauty is something
that people define for us
We think beauty is something
that's only on the outside
and somehow that's the "real" us
Why can't we see
That our beauty comes from within
That only we can define
And without proving it to them
Our beauty moves deep
Right into our soul
Finding every single part
That no one really knows
It shows us who we are
and the person we can be
If only we chose
to live out of conformity
They can't tell you who you are
Or who you're to become
Based on your looks
And the beauty they've defined
And if you think they do
You should probably reevaluate
Because you are so much more
Than a size, age or weight
