Beauty Within

Them

Too much fat,

Too much skin,

Too much of everything in between.

–

You aren’t right,

You aren’t cool,

Why would anyone want anything to do with you?

 –

Her makeup sucks,

Her hair’s a mess,

Haven’t you heard of 911 express?

–

She’s a slut,

She’s a whore,

Who ever gave you permission to soar?

*  *  *

You

Don’t listen to them,

Don’t you dare look down,

Keep their voices on Lockdown.

 –

They don’t know you,

They don’t see,

The YOU that you aim to be.

–

I can’t be perfect,

I can’t always be clean,

Nobody’s the spitting image of a queen.

–

But I must feel blessed

For the ability to see,

the Beauty that awaits deep within me.
