True beauty

By Teja Shree V

A silent morning...
When I went near the mirror,
It started to speak in a soothing voice
About the true beauty of life.

Oh, my dear image,
Why do you compare yourself with others?
Why do you assume that
You are incapable of being beautiful?
Why?

You stand near me to see your preimage,
But blame yourself,
critique yourself,
About lifeless beauty that doesn't matter at all. Why?

Realize, you are more beautiful than the others.
When you smile with a pure soul,
Without a mask on your face
That is the true beauty of life.
