Beautiful

what is true beauty?

Does it come from layers upon layer of makeup?

Does it come from guys liking you?

Where does it come from?

No matter how beautiful you look on the outside

you can be ugly inside.

No one can tell until they start to truly know you.

Before you know it, the person you've tried

so hard to please, moves on
cause they have seen the true you.

You don't understand

your makeup is flawless,

every single strand of hair is in place.

You are beautiful, so you think.

But people see the way you treat people.

The way you poke fun at others,

the way you parade yourself around like something special

They see what is inside;

you try to hide it, but you can't.

If you spent as much time as you spend perfecting yourself

as you did within the Word, learning

the ways of the Creator.

Maybe, just maybe then you would be

Beautiful.
