What is beautiful
For it is a thing people fear they lack
An item in a store
An expensive collection
To never be seen no more
Or is it just another one of society's expectations?
What is beautiful
It is a quality that many individuals keep
An uncommon treasure held dear tight
Where to get it?
Not a peep
Is it more valuable with certain exposures of light?
What is beautiful
It is a wonderful thing
Boys, girls, and anyone in between may own
It is the limb that gives us flight, a wing
An heirloom that cannot be bestowed
What is beautiful
A genetic trait
Wish I could possess
Perhaps it's an open door, or a gate
Where to access...
What is beautiful
It is not a compliment only the wealthy can obtain
Everyone is born beautiful
For beauty is not given either, what a pain
It can't be held, same as the truth
What is beautiful
Let us confirm
Something so simple
It is just a word
That describes something
Or someone
Who is beautiful
You
Everybody
It's true
And lastly me
What can be beautiful
Independence, self-respect, individuality
Kindness, loving, anything breathing
People, animals, nature, a peaceful society
But most of all, simply existing
So are you beautiful?
Yes you are
If you are alive your body is fighting
If you are living, you are free to thrive
So are you beautiful?
Of course, you certainly are
