Beauty isn't the number
on your bra strap
Nor the number on your IQ test
Hell it ain't the number
On your bank statements either

Not the number on your waist line
Or the amount of teeth you have
Not how many people
Laugh at your jokes or have your number

Beauty is the room in your heart
The space you allow
For all people
All creeds
All religions
All colors
All living things

Beauty is the respect
You have for yourself
And others

Beauty is the strength
To stand up for those
Who are being tread upon

Your actions
make you beautiful
Not your body

Your beauty is what you make of it
