What is beauty? Is it the way you look? How you dress The way you hold yourself in front of others? Or is it something you're just born with? You could be told a thousand times over how beautiful you are But it only takes one time to ruin your self image Only once do you need to hear about beauty She tells you she loves you She tells you you're perfect And she tells you you're beautiful But now things are different You notice how your body looks for the first time Bones protruding from every spot A stomach that concaves back inside your body Hip bones that could be used as knives Once you thought your curves were perfect A place that perfectly fits her hands Arms long enough to hold her face And legs that could wrap around her and still have room for more Mirrors seem to show a different you Full you has disappeared and dissolved Like smoke in the night Reflections shows nothing but a sketch with dead eyes What is beauty? Something that I don't have
