love yourself

HER NAME IS BEAUTY

her name is beauty
you can call her pretty
her friends call her cute
strangers say appealing

she spends her days wandering
draws eyes wherever she goes
like a worm lures fish
or a magnet draws metal

everyone wants to be her
she thinks the world is gorgeous
everyone gets to be unique
to have their own skin

she wishes she was like them
but everyone who takes her picture
everyone who tells her what she looks like
give her a different image

she is not unique,
she looks like everyone at one point or another
she doesn't know who she is
all she wants is to be unique, like you.
