Beauty From Within


Your outer beauty is pretty and all

But the real beauty is inside 

Behind all the flesh,

The make up,

That creative mask of yours

you choose to hide behind

You seem to be uncomfortable in your own skin

Just take a moment and acknowledge your beauty within 

It’s not that hard

It’s not that easy either 

But a promise from me to you 

It’s worth the time you’ll see 

Just take a deep breath or two 

And release 

Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes

Each in a different way

I once read a quote that goes quite like this 

OUTER BEAUTY ATTRACTS, BUT INNER BEAUTY CAPTIVATES”

My best advice for you is to remember 

your beauty is : 

Rare, Priceless, and FROM WITHIN

<p>I hope this inspires young women like me to love their selves not only on the outside but the inside as well. So many young women struggle with insecurities so I feel that not only positive affirmations help but an understanding poem that helps them think about the relatable circumstances and have that thought in their mind tells them Your beautiful no matter what.YOUR BEAUTY IS WITHIN&nbsp;</p>
