Inner Beauty


 

Everyone thinks beauty is based on appearance.

Yet, I get all my clothes off clearance.

I think beauty comes from within,

And has nothing to do with the color of your skin.

It’s from the strength you have inside.

Not how much make up you’ve applied.

It’s having the confidence to do what you want,

Not being afraid to eat that second croissant.

It’s how many battles you’ve endured,

And how much you’ve matured

It’s feeling of being blessed,

Even if you’re feeling a little stressed.  

Beauty is who you are.

That’s the most beautiful, by far.
