Beauty

What is beauty?

What is beauty?
Pretty girl, with soft skin, eyes as blue as the sea at noon
Hair as gold as golden corn
Is she beautiful?
Handsome boy, bright eyes color of sinfully sweet chocolate
Carefully, casually tousled dark hair
Is he beautiful? Maybe handsome?
They say beauty is only skin deep
But don’t they also say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder
So how deep into your skin does your beholder have to see
Before he/she realizes that you are beautiful?
Do you have to change how you dress or act for others to see your beauty?
Isn’t being an individual beautiful anymore?
This world is confusing, so hypocritical
Telling you one thing, turning around and changing its mind before you find your footing
They expect you to know you are beautiful
But how can you when the only definition of beauty they teach you is so not who or what you are
Let me get this straight though
If I wear my jeans just a little bit tighter
And my red top cut low
Then you’ll look at me twice
Tell me that I’m beautiful?
Is that the beauty I want?
Is that the only beauty in me?
Maybe you should look again
