Beauty


Beauty can be defined with intelligence

But never someone who has arrogance

The standards have changed

Beauty is now within 

Rather than the outside of your skin

Beautiful can mean being a busy bee

Of course she is smiling with glee

A beautiful person is hardworking and strong

Never tears another person down

Beauty comes in all shapes

But the true beauty can never escape

We feel the pressure to change and make

But by the time we realize we have become fake

Beauty is caring 

Rather than despairing

Beauty is not in

But truly on the outside of your skin
