i am gorgeous because of my soul & spirit

not because of outer adornments or the clothes i put on

not because of the way my features align

i am gorgeous because of my mind

not because i am pleasing to the eye

with such poise, confidence, & grace

not because anyone else believes it so

i am pretty simply because of the way my aura shines

& illuminates my path & the rooms i enter

not because society says so

i am so pretty because i want better for all 

world peace & love i desire

not because anyone knows it

…
