The Definition of Beauty…In America?

By Wendy Wisdom (Wendy Neal)

What is beauty?

The fairest skin

The blondest hair straight as it can be…

He or She  born and expected to achieve or

A Vogue magazine picture perfect runway type… often a lot of hype

The bluest eyes a picture of an indigo sky… so fly

Often able to move around freely adored by many

That’s beauty to u could be beauty to me

Or beauty is the darkest hue of skin

The brownest eyes

 Which depicts the many shades of a calming sunrise

The blackest hair kinky coil to the touch not adored by much

The thickest lips, hourglass shaped

The biggest ass,

Widest hips, in the hood...scene as a blessing…never a mistake

Can weather any storm…wanting to achieve…seen as going against the norm...often a lot of hype

Strong features that could kill…often duplicated by others wanting that swag… that desired skill…

That’s beauty to u could be beauty to me

What is beauty?

Could it be the slantiest eyes

The thinnest lips

The yellow colored skin…expected to win

Thin jet-black hair silky to the touch,

Hair wanted by any, bought with a receipt by so many

Perceived to be smart, cherishing family values and customs

Having a lot of heart…to reach their goals in life…often a lot of hype

Slender straight up and down  petite shaped

Small “A” cupped sized, a handful, just enough to shake

That’s beauty to u could be beauty to me

What is beauty?

Curvy shaped,

Strong persona, Strong build

Almond shaped eyes

Pass for many different shades

Sassy festive attitude

Spicy to the taste

Sexy  Dialect,

Will often times put u in check

Value the culture, roll deep as a unit…often a lot of hype

That’s beauty to u could be beauty to me

What is beauty?

The best of both worlds

Whatever worlds are best to u

Perspectives and traits that keep u guessing

Who or what is he or she?

Damn, that is so intriguing!

That’s beauty to u could be beauty to me

Or maybe beauty is just that… what u feel is beautiful

Whether it is the outer appearance, the spirit of a person, or a little of both…

That’s beauty to u could be beauty to me…
