My beauty might fall outside of your norm,
My body might be in an unpleasant form.
But beauty is not found just in your skin,
It's something that lives deeply within.
It's a bottomless trust, a love, and a dream-
It lives in your eyes- an intriguing gleam.
The world is just filled with un-innocent lies!
They make you desire, you just need to buy
All the potions and lotions and diet-y pills
The skinniest clothing with all of the frills...
The thing of it is, none of it matters.
The seat of your beauty, no nothing may shatter!
