Love Poem: What Is Beauty

What Is Beauty

What is beauty?
How can it be classified?

Is it in the way you dress?
Your hairstyle?
Your body shape and size?
Is it in your features?

The world
says yes
to all the above

But I say....

It's in the way you love others
It's in your unique personality
It lives in the way
you treat other people

These are the things
I want to be valued for
And although
many would disagree

and they will continue to
starve themselves
buy designer clothing
cut their hair
get plastic surgery

I love myself just the way I am
and you should too.
