As a girl,

I was made to believe

That beauty is not within,

It's not fat, but being thin.



As a young woman,

I was made to believe

That beauty is not within,

But it's your fair skin.



It's only in theory

That beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder,

But the truth is otherwise,

Whether you are young or older.



In this superficial world,

We are all made to believe

That it's beauty and not character

In life: we should achieve.



To the eye,

One's looks may appeal

But in the end,

It's all about the feel.



Let us understand one thing,

That a book cannot be judged by its cover

And no matter what you think about your looks,

You will always be beautiful

in the eyes of your lover.
