Love and beauty

Je'annyia Phillips

Free verse
We follow society's beauty standards
but do we feel comfortable
she's never pretty enough
he's never tall enough
but when do we learn that its okay
okay to be yourself
okay to be amazing
beauty standards are never okay
cause she's never skinny enough
or he doesn't have ab's
but enough is enough
we have to accept each other
for love and beauty
