Beauty Lies Within

Beauty should be true to you.

"Beauty is in the heart of the beholder"
no newspaper,
fashion magazine,
or person can tell you that you're not beautiful
because beauty lies within
people can say a certain
body type is beautiful,
but as long as you love yourself
you shouldn't care about
other people's perception of beauty
as long as you believe
that everything about you is beautiful
because beauty lies within

Author's Note

Instead of a song to inspire me I used a quote by Al Bernstein. A lot of you enjoyed a line of my favorite songs, so maybe you'll enjoy some of my favorite quotes. Enjoy.

I liked this poem. I agree with you. "The beauty is in the eyes of the beholder", but not everyone can see that. I think that if they were able to see it then they would feel beautiful. Mostly beauty is in the heart. It doesn't matter what you look like. I loved this poem. Thanks for sharing?

Very good quote, and very true. True beauty lies within, not what someone else says is beautiful.

Very nice, and very true. You keep telling it like it is girl. We have souls in these bodies, we are more than a picture, we are more because we make it that way our own selves.

The age old lesson continuely doned onto children by their mothershas been for centuries but lately, it seems more and more people are forgetting it. This piece is a simple reminder to watch for true beauty, and to not be fooled by fake facades... nicely done :)

Very inspiring. I don't fit the media's idea of "beauty", but I need to learn to love myself. Real women have curves!
