What is the definition of beauty?
I look at my face to see,
The eyeliner dark,
The highlights of my cheeks,
Powdered imperviously.
Mascara thick and
Lipstick bright,
I look like every girl here.

What is the definition of beauty?
Nothing can get through to me.
I don't cry:
That would ruin my placid personality.
Out in the rain I hide
Under a black umbrella,
Never wanting to dance.

What is the definition of Beauty?
No makeup can matter:
People can see I'm happy in my
Lucky lucid Eyes.
I'm never hiding behind myself,
I'm learning to enjoy who I am.
I love I laugh I'm having fun,
I dance out in that rain.
My red umbrella bouncing along as I
Jump from puddle to puddle.
Nobody can pretend I'm exactly as
The girl across the street.
I'm who I am and living it,
The difference of beauty and Beauty is in
Me.
Sometimes I struggle with who I am because I am not always excepted by those I admire. They often see beauty as an outside force, not as a inherit trait. I hope I don't judge like they do: Beauty resides on the heart.
