A poem to show how I feel about beauty :) Everyone has beauty, we are ALL beautiful! I'm really happy that I see things this way- thanks to Jesus, my wonderful family and lovely friends <3 I hope people feel happy after reading this poem!
You are Beautiful!
You are beautiful even if they say that you’re too short,
Of course you have spirits that let you reach the heights of an astronaut!
Use your ability to stand strong when they claim that you’re too tall and attack you with verbal claws,
After all, who will still be standing when clumsy tongues trip up and insults pause?
Reach for your spark when they tell you that ordinary people are too dull to have an added plus,
Everyone has the means of lighting the Earth so why should you be anonymous?
Believe you are beautiful when they take one look and brand you disfigured,
Each person’s skin is presented differently to stop us fading and becoming blurred.
Ask them if they can define the word “ugly” and when they come up with definitions most lewd,
Unleash your alternative dictionary to provide them with synonyms renewed!
The beauty of a green lizard can be found in the yellow of the sun,
so why must we only appreciate it from one dimension?
If your happiness in being beautiful is looking to be thwarted,
Free your heart’s opinion to leave others' aborted!
Underneath the clothes and skin you see, there is a naked skeleton and a skull,
Let’s enjoy dressing these with many shapes, sizes and colours beautiful!
