Beauty

by ShatteredAngel   Jan 3, 2005


Beauty is just an illusion
That the eye tends to see
Beauty doesn't define
What you are meant to be
Girls become wrapped in images
Of actresses, singers and stars
They can’t seem to figure out
That an image isn't who you are
True beauty is on the inside
Who cares if you’re a size six or fourteen
What makes some girls think
That they can walk around like they’re the queen
Why do they think
That they’re superior to the rest of us
When they break a nail
Why do they make such a fuss

Words may not be able to describe
all the feelings you feel
Even though they say
That with time all wounds will heal
When you’re lost for words
And there’s no where to go
Remember it’s important
To let your true feelings show
Remember
It’s important to stay true
Never forget
About what makes you, you
Remember beauty is an illusion
That the eye tends to see
Remember beauty doesn't define
Who you are meant to be

Why is it that the small words
Are so hard to say
I'm sorry and I love you
Are heard less and less each day
Please is told to be the magic word
When really it should be I’m sorry
We should all slow down and make time
And not be in such a hurry
I'm beginning to learn
About the true meaning of life
I've learned it that it doesn't matter
Who’s wrong or right
Keep your loved ones close
For they may be gone soon
Take the time to enjoy
The sun and the moon

Words may not be able to describe
All the feelings you feel
Even though they say
That with time all wounds will heal
When you're lost for words
And there’s no where to go
Remember it’s important
To let your true feelings show
Remember
It’s important to stay true
Never forget
About what makes you, you
Remember beauty is an illusion
That the eye tends to see
Remember beauty doesn't define
What you are meant to be

More and more things
Become clear to me each day
This seems like my chance
To say what I want to say
There are people who love you dearly
But just don't know how to let it show
And the ones that do love you,
Love you more than you’ll ever know
Two people can look at the same thing
And see something totally diverse
Sometimes what you think will make something better,
Only makes it worse
It’s taken me awhile
To learn all these things
But the thing I’ve learned most
As that what matters is within

Words may not be able to describe
All the feelings you feel
Even though they say
That with time all wounds will heal
When you’re lost for words
And there’s no where to go
Remember it’s important
To let your true feelings show
Remember
It’s important to stay true
Never forget
About what makes you, you
Remember beauty is an illusion
That the eye tends to see
Remember beauty doesnt define
What you are meant to be
