Beauty
Beauty,
in the eye of the beholder
Self-esteem torn to shreds
The caked on make-up of clowns
masks disappointment.
Beauty
possessed in the hands of society.
Mocking words of trusted friends
Are actions really stronger than words?
Beauty
isn't just a pretty face.
Where a sparkling smile can change a mood,
but when a simple gesture can also inflict pain
Beauty
is in the souls of the weak.
decisions made by popular demand
what's in
what's out
Beauty
is only skin deep
some say.
Beauty
changes passion,
changes soul
Beauty creates pain,
caresses love,
torments the selfish minds.
Beauty can be a cruel thought.
Beauty
shouldn't be what first comes to mind.
Let the mind wander.
Let the sunset drag you in
and warmth of the sand embrace your toes.
Let cool winds fly
and glistening waves flow down shore.
Let the white sea foam ooze
on the smooth sand bar.
Let the clouds roll overhead.
Let leaves on the trees rustle.
Allow the songs of birds break the silence.
Let true beauty enter
