Beauty Does Not Have a Face
January 25, 2018
When were we taught
That beauty is
Beaming blue eyes, beautiful blonde hair
A skinny stomach, stretch marks nowhere
Somehow being curvy, while staying small
No pimples, toned and tall
When were we taught
White skin is beauty, but not too white, not brown, nor black
When were we taught
That european features
Are the exact embodiment of beauty
We should have been taught
Everyone is beautiful, not just a specific body type or race
Beauty is inside, beauty does not have a face.
