Always reminded of the beauty of others

Our self image continues to suffer.

Beauty sets standards no person can naturally achieve

Makes us constantly remind ourselves of any compliments we do receive.


We are reminded that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

But for some reason, we find ourselves becoming colder.

Longing for the attributes we never can receive

There seems to be no way we ever like what we see.


After all the times we are told we are pretty

Beauty makes us look at what we don’t have with pity.

When we look in the mirror in the morning and at night

There are times that we don’t like what is in sight.
