Beauty Lies Within

Beauty should be true to you.

"Beauty is in the heart of the beholder"
no newspaper,
fashion magazine,
or person can tell you that you're not beautiful
because beauty lies within
people can say a certain
body type is beautiful,
but as long as you love yourself
you shouldn't care about
other people's perception of beauty
as long as you believe
that everything about you is beautiful
because beauty lies within

Author's Note

Instead of a song to inspire me I used a quote by Al Bernstein. A lot of you enjoyed a line of my favorite songs, so maybe you'll enjoy some of my favorite quotes. Enjoy.

I liked this poem. I agree with you. "The beauty is in the eyes of the beholder", but not everyone can see that. I think that if they were able to see it then they would feel beautiful. Mostly beauty is in the heart. It doesn't matter what you look like. I loved this poem. Thanks for sharing?

Well said my dear! Give acceptance and love to yourself first, then it will follow from others. Those that only see and value the outward appearance are the ones that are truly lacking.

Your words are true. If we seek only flesh and bone. Will awake one day to learn. You never had anything. Need friendship, laughter and joy in a life to know true beauty. A strong ending to a excellent poem.

So lovely. This speaks about so many things. Especially women. Women are always trying to be thinner more beautiful, yet they are perfect just the way they are. I had a problem of criticizing myself all the time and still do, yet your poem inspired me and caused me to smile. Thank you. :)
