The Real Beauty

There is always something

Look at all those products,

Lined up on the shelves.

Does anybody, 

Have anything better to do,

Then put crap on their face?

Every bottle says something.

Its a magical product, 

That will keep from aging,

Or Wrinkles, Or acne.

But what about your inner self?

The beauty on the inside?

Doesn't that mean something?

Or has that gone extinct.

I'm not gonna lie,

I do it too.

You want to feel pretty.

You want someone to want you.

But I know. 

That if my bestie is breaking out.

Or my momma is getting a wrinkle.

I know that the beauty

That really matters most.

It is still definitively there.

The Beauty on the Inside.
