My Idea of Beauty

poem by: Kristen Gunn
Written on Jul 10, 2017

​I am not beautiful because of my looks that would eventually fade over time
I am beautiful because I say I am beautiful
Because I'm confident, ambitious, kind, caring, intelligent, respectful
I am beautiful because I am me
I am unique and beautifully flawed
And I will never apologize for my flaws
I own them
They are a part of me
I love them
Because I love me

So very true Kristen, you have figured out what really matters in life, everything is so fake these days, beauty lies within, so always be true to your beliefs...I love it.
