You don't notice the beauty of yourself
when you smile and happiness
make your eyes sparkle

or when you glow with pride
after getting a good grade.

You don't watch yourself falling in love
as your eyelashes flutter and your cheeks turn pink.

You can't see your own heart fill with warmth as you help someone in need.

Don't let society's distorted perception of beauty
keep you from realizing the beauty of being yourself.


The author's comments:
I feel like in today's society, you need to have the perfect body to be considered "beautiful", when beauty is just being yourself and what's inside. Girls shouldn't be insecure about how they look, because looks are just an outer shell that protects the real beauty within them.
