ask/answer

I don’t think that I’ll ever be as beautiful  
as those Girls.
The Girls with long, slim legs,
golden hair,
flawless skin.
And I ask myself
Can I be okay with that?
Is that okay?
Then I realize
I’m also asking the world that too.
Is that okay?
Can I still be called beautiful?
There is no reply.
The only thing I do hear
is the sound of my heart
telling me with each steady beat
yes,
yes, 
yes.
