Beauty's Meaning- Shreya Mahadani

Visible collarbones, waist size small

A perfect jawline and six ft tall

Bodycon dresses and fitted pants

Subtle appearance of nerves on hands

Is beauty only defined on such terms and conditions?

Because I don’t remember signing up for these petitions.

Strange how we say it’s the soul that matters

Yet filter our eyes only for attractive figures

Those who fit the manmade category

Become pretty in all their glory

Is beauty really seen in structured carves?

Because I can’t see beyond the blessed heart.

Curves and folds were considered art

Or was that just a myth of the past?

Life was more than having a body

But I Guess that’s changing slowly

Is beauty all that we think it is?

Because something sure seems to miss
