“Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder”

She just wants to be seen.
She just wants attention.
Like she is the beauty queen,
That everyone will mention.
She doesn’t understand, that she is worth it.
That what she is, is wonderful and acceptable now.
Who she is, is the most perfect and only fit,
And who you are is something no one can disallow.
Beauty shines from within.
It is the light from inside.
Whether fat or thin,
Your beauty, is what you can’t hide.
Just know, that you are beautiful.
There is no better you than the you that you are.
You are gorgeous, that’s irrefutable.
Because, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
