What is beauty?
Beauty is a smile that lights up her eyes.
Beauty is a child, sleeping through the night.
Beauty is a couple, holding each other tight.
Beauty is waking in the night because of a good dream.
Beauty is the sun and the moon.
Beauty is the birds in the trees and the leaves of green.
And beauty is you.
You are beauty.
You are not those things that you tell yourself.
Fat,
ugly,
crazy,
lonely,
hideous,
You're none of those.
You're just a butterfly wrapped in its cocoon.
Just a firework before it bursts.
You are the beauty not the beast.
You are the swan not the ugly duckling.
You will never know your full potential till you see what I see.
Someone strong,
Someone courageous,
special,
caring,
sweet,
But most of all,
someone beautiful,
So put down the looking glass,
Stop saying 'Mirror Mirror on the wall"
There is no fairest of them all.
We are all the fairest if you know what to look for.
So look for the beauty,
Look for the strength,
But find your truth.
Let it be beautiful,
Let it be true.
'Cause what is beauty but a word?
Why does one word hold so much power over so many people?
Beauty is not on the skin level,
but it's in the mind and the bones.
Beauty comes from within.
Beauty is courage.
Beauty is strength.
Beauty is being unique and strong,
but most of all,
Beauty is being you.
