True Beauty

by: Celina Calligan

They say it fades

They say if you don’t have it, you’re not worth it

They say it is the reflection that stares you in the eye

But a reflection does not show the shining star

But a reflection does not radiate your personality

But a reflection does not show what lies behind your mind

Beauty does not represent your eyes

Beauty does not represent  your race

Beauty does not represent the outside

Beauty is the growing soul that is your own

Beauty is the spark that lights up the darkness of night

Beauty is the path that guides you to your home

Beauty is pure

Beauty is you!
