Beauty is skin deep, it's not what I’m told

It’s what I’m showed, everyday

cute shoes, nice hair, that lipstick you got it were?

Everyone worrying about their appearance

Even me, especially me

But then I'm forced to look at the things that aren’t physical

What is beautiful? I really don’t know

what do you like about yourself? I’m not sure

what do you admire most in others?

The loyalty and determination of others

Admiration has lead to aspiration

A want to be that person

I have never felt extraordinary

I’m in the background I’m ordinary

What’s beautiful about me is not skin deep

It’s my desire to be there for everyone who needs

It’s my immeasurable stubbornness to get something done, my determination

I am that person, the one that everyone tells their problems and secrets

the reason why? I'll keep them

I loyal to a fault, and will never condemn

My loyalty is only beat by my determination

when say ill do, its done

What makes me even remotely beautiful is not my hair, my skin, or my clothes

It not at all my physical appearance its my capability of being there for someone who needs me

My loyalty and determination

Being loyal to those you love and determined enough to fulfill a promise is not extraordinary

but it is beautiful, the capability of having these characteristics makes everyone

capable of being beautiful and near flawless
