Beauty, she has big eyes, plump

Pink lips, a curvy body, a nice

Round butt, and long silky black

Hair. She makes me feel insecure     

About myself, yet I love the way                                 

It feels to be beautiful. Formal

Events, family events, or any type

Of party, it feels good to stand out.

All the eyes on you, while you’re

Just minding your own. But do these

Stares mean you’re beautiful or do

You look out of place.


Sorry I don’t have big eyes. Sorry I

Don’t have a nice round butt and a

Curvy figure. Sorry I don’t have

Teeth as straight and white as the ones

In the toothpaste commercials. Forgive

Me if I don’t look like her. I shouldn’t

Have to meet up to her standards though.

I’m unique and I shouldn’t have to be

Someone else in order to be beautiful.

If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t

Beautiful or “good” enough, ignore that.

You’re beautiful in your own ways, inside

And out. You don’t have to be someone

Else, change yourself, or even meet

Someone else’s standards. You are

Perfect just the way you are.
