Enough

Beauty is everywhere,

if you choose to look closer,

viewing what you miss,

at first glance.

Just because in society’s mind,

her beauty is unconventional,

he’s a behemoth,

she’s a walking skeleton,

he’s a dwarf,

she’s a sky scraper,

does not give anyone the right,

to degrade or strip away,

the fact that they are,

Beautiful.

He wishes to star in a movie,

she desires to fiercely walk the runway,

he wants to dance upon the stage,

She dreams to play among the star athletes,

but society says they can’t.

“You’re awkward,

a freak,

four-eyes,

buck-tooth,

stupid,

too flamboyant,

you’re simply not good enough,

raise your white flag,

and surrender because you are inferior”,

society harshly states.

Society attempts to silence,

unique individuals,

who do not fit the mold.

of what is considered,

to be normal,

as if that aspect exists,

in our world.

Similarities are necessary,

yet differences,

whether subtle or extreme,

are the essential details,

engendering us,

to be more than enough.
