Everyday society finds,

Any way to change our minds

About clothes and looks,

And drugs and books,

And how to defy our own kind.

But when we think

We realize that they have no actual link

To the real beauty of what’s inside

We all look different,

Whether big or small

We are beautiful in our own little ways.

What makes us up aren’t insults and scorn,

But compliments and loving words.
