Skin Deep

What is beauty?
masculine or feminine,
we all look for different things.
Yet miss the ones that sets us apart.
Character, inner goodness, selflessness.
Its not about the muscles, the six pack,
Its not abut the double D's or the tight ass.
Its what you reflect back into society
It's not the lipstick that you wear
nor is it the color of eye shadow you place
or the thickness of your hair and the length of it?
Its not a problem if you're bald, or a full head of hair.
beardless or one to the chest.
what matters is the heart that beats inside.
friendship, at best lovers at most, friends or foes
What is beauty? as your definition
Is it how tall they are? or the color of their car
Is it the amount of curves they posses?
Or the fact they will love you for a lot lot less
Does it matter weather we are short or fat?
as long as you have found a love that will last.
What is inner beauty? now this is where it counts
Does it matter as much as outer beauty? yes it does
Stunning or handsome, on the outside, yet rotten to the core
is this what beauty is ? you put up with bitches and bastards,
why to impress the friends, so they can see the stunners in your arms, yet you know the nastiness inside.
Is it worth it, for the misery they bring, just so you can be the one, everyone else wants to be.
Does inner beauty give you as much credit as your outer beauty does? The answer is no, They never look beyond
the front door.
The outer casing is enviable to your mates
until its to late, the poison is already there
Yet inner beauty will tell you who posses
the real crown, the fake beauties will be left behind
Why does inner beauty mean less than outer beauty?
Is it because people do not understand?
Is it because people do not want to search for someone
With great inner beauty. smarts and intellect
Look inside yourself, look beyond the mirrors reflection.
take the rose colored glasses off.
The human being is magnificent in what ever form it appears.
Its the inner light that shines, looks fade, hair falls out.
wrinkles appear, yet inner goodness stays, laughter stays.
friendship stays. so look beyond the glitz and the glamour
and find the inner side, you might be quite surprised.
You will find that beauty truly is only skin deep.
