Curtain of Beauty

Location

What is beauty?

People say beauty is what's on the inside,

if that were true, I would be ugly.

I hide behind my mask of silky blonde hair and "flawless" brown eyes,

but who am I really?

You say I am beautiful,

but that's on the outside...

What about the inside?

My inside is dark and cloudy,

filled with depression and anxiety.

But no one sees it,

because of the beautiful mask I hide under.

Who am I?

That girl you see and say "she is beautiful."

But you see my friend, 

I am not beautiful. 

I hide behind a curtain of societies version of beauty.

But I am not beautiful.

I am just a girl hiding behind a curtain.
