beauty.
what is beauty?
is it smooth skin with no blemishes in sight?
or is it a blindingly bright white smile?
who came up with such a selective system?
a system where the image of what's on the outside,
triumphs what is truly there inside?
since when does a perfect tan,
measure over intelligence?
it's incredibly sad,
to think that this is what society has come to.
a place where the weight of your body,
is valued over the weight and amount,
of the knowledge and love you hold inside.
