Beautiful

Beauty is flawless skin.
Not having to wear any make-up.
Beauty is long flowing hair.
Perfect even when you get out of bed.
Beauty isn't just outside,
It's inside too.
Beauty is treating everybody with respect.
Being kind to people even when they don't deserve it.

Beauty isn't pink scars all over your body.
Trying to hide them with long sleeves and hoodies.
Beauty isn't an uneven buzz cut.
Shaved from the aftermath of your last suicide attempt.
Beauty isn't just on the outside,
It's inside too.
Beauty isn't pushing people away,
When they're just trying to help.

Yet, he still calls me beautiful...
