I AM BEAUTIFUL

 

How is beauty determined?

By one person or a few?

Is someone beautiful

if they have tender fingers and eyeballs too?

 

Should I walk around

claiming I am lovely, 

when another may think,

"she's honestly quite ugly"?

 

Shall I live my whole life

BEGGING for two eyes,

just to rake upon my body

and feed me some lies?

 

May I FEEL beautiful

for having dark hair,

is this considered conceded-

or is it too fair?

 

How does one know what is beautiful?

is there a pamphlet, a book?

If I am deemed as "okay", 

do I beg my namer to give me another look?

 

We're all like and different in ways, 

I am beautiful.

Trust me, it's more than a phrase.
