Why has the definition of beauty become something we can see?
Beauty lies within an individual, not on the exterior part of a human
An ugly person is not one, who acquired genetic material,
That according to society isn’t the best.
An ugly person is one, who opens his /her mouth,
To refer to someone else as “ugly”
That’s when you know who the real ugly people are
The ignorant and foolish people,
Who can’t see past what’s visible to the human eyes
For you see, you can have the finest skin and the brightest eyes
The best legs and longest eyelashes
The finest smile and a naturally beautiful face
But once you’re ugly on the inside, it reflects on the outside
And an ugly attitude, quells a beautiful face.
Sooner or later, you become just as ugly as your attitude.
So don’t let someone you just met call you beautiful
For that person does not know you
And hence does not know the definition of beauty
This makes whether you’re beautiful or not disputable.
Don’t let the people around you define you,
Know who you are, and who you are is beautiful,
That is if your inner beauty is present.


The author's comments:
People like to think it's okay to call other's ugly, and reduce their self confidence to a zero. Society has kind of narrowed the definition of beautiful to just physical appearance, I like to think a beautiful person is one with inner and pure beauty.
