Do you see beautiful?

Do you...

Well...

Do you see beautiful in me?

Sorry for asking.

It's just,

Maybe beautiful is

A choice, not a birthright.

Who you become, not what you are.

God made bodies

So they're worth something for sure,

But maybe beautiful is found

In what you do with them.

Our hearts get stuck

On what they see

When really

They were made for what they can't.

We nurse our kids on body types

Spoon feed them with fashion.

They soon learn they'll never be enough

For the 'right' kind of beautiful.

Stop it.

Barbie isn't beautiful.

She's fake.

Beautiful isn't makeup, clothes

Surgeries, or sexy.

Beautiful is owning up 

to the person God created you to be.

It's living in honesty, integrity, sincerity.

Beautiful is love,

And what you do with it.
