The Unseen Beauty

They say beauty is the eye of the beholder
To some, it's best seen just from the outer
Emphasized with pretty clothes that woman wears
Or the figure that she carries, and the way she fix her hair.

I say, beauty is what's underneath the make-up
Not something created by it just to build up
Because having a pure heart is so pretty enough
Being beautiful inside will surely put you at the top.

Outer beauty is only what the eyes can see
And will capture the attention of everybody
But what is invisible to the eye seems like eternity
Just being yourself will define you differently.

Your skin isn't paper, so don't try to cut it
Your face isn't mask, never dare to cover it
Your size isn't a book, for once, don't judge it
You are beautiful as you are, be proud about it.

Show your true beauty, let your eyes shine with compassion
Your lips soften with respect and genuine admiration
Your skin glow with joy, hiding all the imperfections
Beautiful personality is what makes you valuable to the nation!
