Real Beauty

My name isn't Barbie I'll never be A supermodel No 18 inch waist Like Scarlet O'Hara Skin not flawless Many imperfections Yet, I carry myself As if I possess these Traits that supposedly Define what real beauty is Real beauty isn't Discovered in magazines It isn't strutting on The catwalk either Beauty has no age Beauty is not defined By the size of a woman's Body or chest Real beauty isn't Achieved through Starvation or from Binging and purging Only temporary Beauty will result From things that Damage the body And the soul It will never last Beauty lies inside Every woman She just needs To learn how to Set it free The key to Unveiling Your own beauty Is from learning How to harness your Own unique attributes To hypnotize all While physical Attributes can Make a woman Appear beautiful It is the beauty That exists inside Her that will Last forever A loving and Giving heart Are the most Beautiful Qualities That a woman Can possess Women need to Love themselves Shunning the lies And preconceived Notions that the Media portrays To women everywhere That beauty is defined By a set of standards
