Sometimes I feel beautiful
(not Vanity Fair beautiful)
of coarse
but beautiful enough to make you smile
while other times
I feel so far from beautiful
that I dare not look into the silver liar
and on those days I thank you
for that smile that helped me
feel beautiful again
and in my smile
I give back to you
the truth, that you
are beautiful too!

You put your trust
in luster of treasures fake
putting aside
the true gems when luster fades
in youth is known
no more than today
for the shine of base
tempts a fool of any age
gems be daughter and son
to men old and naive
Cordelia and Edgar
tarnished to hearts that can't see
only in endings
will fools see the deed
the trap
that blinded hearts to misery.
