    What is Beauty?

    What is beauty?
    Is it ribbons or curls
    or the cares of the world?

    What is beauty?
    Is it violettes or roses
    or the smudge on a window by little kids noses?

    What is beauty?
    Is it high heel shoes or nice clothes
    or a pretty voice that puts on a show?

    What is beauty?
    Is it what people see everyday
    or is it more than what society may say?

    Is beauty the outside appearance?
    Or the things people may not see?

    Is it your looks?
    Or your actions?

    It's not what they see
    but more what they don't
    like the understanding of right and wrong
    and the knowledge of true hope.

    Beauty does not come from the outside
    but from within

    True beauty is within.

    When society tellyou what to wear
    and even do
    always ask yourself

    quite revealing of the truth in inner beauty to the expected acceptance levels of glamorized beauty. Descriptives are good as one can easily see the meaning

    This is a really good poem to make you think about the truth in life and to not always believe in what people say or do
