Beauty and Ugly
March 3, 2014
“Beauty” beauty is not perfection,
Beauty is not stereotypical,
Beauty is not plastic,
Beauty is only you, only me, only us,
Only a flower,
Only a bug.
Beauty is everything,
Everything in this universe,
In this world,
In this country,
This state,
Even this town.
Beauty is within.
But…
To see beauty you must first see the ugly,
You must cherish this ugly,
Feel it,
Smell it,
Taste it,
Hear it,
And
Breathe it.
When you do that…
You shall see the true beauty.
