What is beautiful

Shanezade

From the size of her breast to the width of her thighs

Can cause the greatest smiles or the most tearful eyes

From magazines to beauty queens

What am i really seeing?

The say to feel pretty yet the girl on their walls don't match me at all 

Am i insecure? Sure that one way to say it

Same as the rose that looses value the minute it becomes someone's profit

When i look at nature i see what beauty really means

But in today's people so much beauty goes unseen

Behind each mask is nature ready to grow

But is smothered by this "beauty" we think we know

But even the prettiest of faces with a body to die for

Stay up all night crying still wanting more

This so called beauty has become a chore

When does the half filled cup become full ?

Will we ever see what is beautiful?

    Cute is too innocent youth, Pretty is developing yet still it's self. Beauty is developed and refined, tested by your own trails you see what you are when no one is looking or in the whole worlds spot light. Too many meanings and standards we think we must meet, but beauty is when you see you for you and me for me, at least thats how I feel. This was nice thanks for sharing
