You think that compared to
the made-up faces
and the pouted lips around you
You are not the definition of
Beauty as engraved in your mind
By those around you
The daintiness that you
don't see in yourself
The perfection that
you are oblivious to
Is hidden to your mind
by the actions and words of those
Who fear that once
you realize your true worth
You'd know you are too good for them
And they will lose control and superiority
Just look into my eyes
Read my words, listen to what I say
Treat me as a mirror
And tell me
Isn't the version of you that you see
in this mirror
The embodiment of true beauty?
