The Beauty of You
The beauty of you,
Is the smile on your face
When your happiness is true.
That beauty can’t be replaced.
The beauty of you,
Is the light in your eyes
When you talk about the things you love to do.
That’s beauty you can’t disguise.
The beauty of you,
Is the love in your heart.
True beauty comes from inside of you,
You are beautiful, every part.
About the Author: “My name is Hannah Barber and I am fifteen years old. I am currently in my first year of homeschooling, before this year I attended public school. I would like to have a poetry column that focuses on issues in our society today, whether it be society’s view of beauty versus true beauty, or about promoting your self worth. Everyone is worth just as much as every one else, and in our society I believe that teens don’t feel as though they mean enough. I want to inspire teens to feel better about themselves and to follow their dreams.”
