I am Beautiful

I am Beautiful
My beauty does not speak the language of ugliness and broken mirrors
It speaks the language of heart, kindness and generosity
For my outside reflects my inside

Beauty cannot be applied
Beauty can only be found
Beauty is being yourself
Regardless of what others have to say
Beauty is not what the eyes see
It’s what the mind thinks of me

The truth is hidden beneath those words
Society only brings me to say those words
Yet I can't find the inner peace to feel these words

‘’Why should it matter what people think of me?’’
While going deeper into believing what I’m suppose to be?’’
‘’Why can’t I look in the mirror and say to myself’’
‘’I’m pretty yet different just like everybody else’’

Some words should be like chaff, which the wind blows away
Sadly, I am blinded, I am is sightless
From imperishable beauty of a sweet and peaceful mind
Which is of great worth in the Father’s sight

I hunger for the looks of Venus
The perfect image of security
The perfect image of a face with no pimples
The perfect image of skin with no wrinkles
The perfect image of a painted face
To cover my insecurities

It’s like I’m stuck in a room with nowhere to go
Crying in hurt, being stuck under this shadow
I have to shut down the voices that are tearing me apart
Look up, stand tall and start listening to my heart

I’ve found myself
Through my flaws and imperfections
I’ve found that the mirror only lies

What people say to me no longer matters
I am strong fierce and courage
And that’s what really matters
‘’Mirror, mirror on the wall
I’m the fairest of them all’’
Because this is who I am
I am Beautiful
