What is true beauty?

What is true beauty? 

If not honesty and kindness 

Some think appearance 

to have that hour glass body and a pretty face

To look like models on tv

to have the attention, the spotlight

What is true beauty? 

If not loving and caring

The beauty of a good heart 

No matter what shape size or color

To appreciate oneself for who they are

Pride

What is true beauty? 

Without the beauty within

Time passes and people age

Appearance change

But its the beauty within that stays

What is true beauty?

Very lovely reflection upon the media's confusing perception of beauty. The question remains relatable. Is beauty only determined by appearance, personality, or both?

Instead, it is simply in the eye of the beholder.
