"What Is Beauty"

I don't have big boobs or a big butt
Does that not make me beautiful?
I have stretch marks on my belly and thighs
Does that not make me beautiful?
I have short hair instead of long, thick hair
Does that not make me beautiful?
I have basic, brown eyes instead of blue, green, or even grey
Does that not make me beautiful?
I am flat chested
Does that not make me beautiful?
I am a breast cancer survivor who's lost all of their hair
Does that not make me beautiful?
I am short with short legs
Does that not make me beautiful?
I have acne
Does that not make me beautiful?
I have scars that seem too ugly and disgusting
Does that not make me beautiful?
I have either too dark or too pale of skin
Does that not make me beautiful?
We may ask ourselves these questions
We may evaluate ourselves often...
But the truth is ladies
These are the things that make us beautiful
