I’ve never quite understood
Those who judge beauty
On a checklist
Whose boxes are drawn
By the pens of society
Because what is beauty,
if not in the eye of the beholder?
And what is beauty,
if not abstract
and utterly idiosyncratic?

I’ve never quite understood
Those who judge beauty
On a checklist
Whose boxes are drawn
By the pens of society
Because what is beauty,
if not in the eye of the beholder?
And what is beauty,
if not abstract
and utterly idiosyncratic?
- i’ve always preferred the crinkles in your eyes to the folds in one’s eyes, anyway
