The Meaning of Beauty

Beauty,
a hopeful skin-deep term
that looks past flaws and errors.

The beauty of mind and soul
and not just outter beauty.
Has this meaning been lost?

Perhaps our environment shapes
us too well to block out our own
thoughts and perceptions and just replace
them with other's.

A losing battle
with individuality and the beauty
versus the world itself.

I do not want look past my own thoughts
to fit into the "beauty" of the
new-look world.

Old-fashioned and opinionated,
I stand strong.

We're all beautiful, skin-deep, mindful.
Atleast to me.
