Intelligence is Beauty
Location
At age six
instead of speaking about my behavior
the teacher spoke about my weight
at the age of 11
magazines taught me beauty was defined
by the amount of makeup I wore...
the more the better!
by age 13
I was just another vogue clone
beauty isn't a part of me
I sit in an empty room
and wonder "Who am I?"
Society has us so washed up
my first answer starts sound as "smart"
Social media shows a pretty face,
makeup done and hair in place.
beauty isn't a part of me.
I am a part of 5 million
negative post tweeted by women's selfhate
intelligence and beauty just don't mix!
Beauty isn't a part of me
I searched for perfection
encounter intelligence
It's beautiful hearing
math and facts coming out of my mouth
intelligence is beauty
the mirror no longer measures me
intelligence is a part of me
but beauty is too.
