Beauty

“Beauty”

 

Why is beauty in my eyes

So different from that in yours?

What is beauty, exactly?

If it takes on so many forms?

What makes something beautiful,

Appealing to the eye?

If something is beautiful by your standards

Why might it not be by mine?

 

And who are we to say

What is beautiful or not?

How can we describe something with a word so vague

The meaning is lost?

 

Is beauty something concrete, then?

Instead of just a word?

How real can beauty be

If it takes on so many forms?

I liked this one a lot, it highlights very well the oddity of saying something is beautiful according to 'society' when everyone has their own individual opinion.
