Beautiful or intelligent?
I once asked a friend
if she would rather be
called beautiful or
intelligent.
She said beautiful.
For hours afterward
I wondered why she
had said beautiful.
Because anyone can
be beautiful,
anyone can slap
some make-up on
and be called beautiful.
But not everyone can be
intelligent.
Not everyone can soothe
a crying friend,
not everyone can light
up a room full of darkness.
Stop worrying about looks and think about what really matters.
Not everyone can be intelligent.
