In the mirror’s gaze, a thousand whispers speak,
Telling tales of beauty, both harsh and sweet.
Eyes that search for flaws, yet long to find,
A place where self and world entwine.

Standards carved in stone, yet shifting sands,
Shapes and colors crafted by unseen hands.
Through lenses of culture, the image is formed,
A canvas of expectations, weathered and worn.

Beneath the surface, a quiet truth resides,
Beauty’s essence is where the heart abides.
In laughter’s lines and kindness’s glow,
True beauty emerges, gentle and slow.

Let us break the chains of rigid design,
Embrace the beauty that dares to define.
For in the tapestry of diverse grace,
We find the strength to love and embrace.
