Real Beauty

She looks into the mirror and she sees
A girl whose face is streaked with falling tears

Her hair is flowing in the summer breeze
As she attempts to conquer her worst fears

She does not see the beauty that exists

Because the world has tried to bring her down

Each day the negativity persists

Upon her face there is a mournful frown

Her friends have tried to make her understand
That she is really beautiful inside

She’s always there to help and lend a hand
And on her comradeship they have relied

It dawns on her that what they said is true
Real beauty has to come from within you
