Inner Beauty

Shining stars are sumptuous illusion,

You try getting closer and they just burn

Glittering diamond looks absolutely fine,

Yet, it’s nothing more than a tough stone

 

Personality is just an outer norm,

You decorate it with pearls and gem

But character is an inner facet,

It’s worth more than things hidden in a closet

 

Does flawless skin define your appeal?

I can bleach my skin and look aesthetic

You say there’s an end to my cosmetic?

I say there’s an end to your glamour as well

 

How long can you pretend as a pleaser?

Someday you’ll fall under pressure

If you ever had inner beauty,

It’d follow you till your eternity

 

Gold is hidden deep down,

Roses are surrounded by thorn,

Lotus opens up in a stinky pond,

Inner beauty’s got no correspond!

Fantastic work Deepika, in this world people are just obsessed about how they and other people look; we have truly forgotten that inner beauty lies within and it can never fade, it can never be wrinkled, it is eternal.
Loved the fourth verse, How long will you pretend as a pleaser? Very good, loved it.

[Deepika]
