Beauty meant power The princess has a King, who lead wars and conquered kingdoms, wrapped around her fingers A prince, who slay mighty dragons and beasts, fall onto her feet So when did beauty become a weakness?
Beauty meant safe Moats and towers kept her from plain sight Dwarfs and talking animals always run for her defense So when did beauty become a threat?
When Beauty touches unholy ground The dead goes up their graves At the scent of beauty, not of brain
The darkness hid their rotten flesh Her naivety masked their stench Because in her eyes, they’re all the same For they call her “Beauty”.
Their ***** nails dug to her flawless cheek Making scars that could never heal The lips that once called her “Beauty” burned like coals on her flesh They grip her hair and drag her around, leaving a trail of ******’s blood
As the moon become hidden by clouds The dead just left her on the ground She screamed for help yet no one came Because her face just wasn’t the same
For every rustling of the trees And every blow of the wind The fear inside her grew That the dead will be back But as the days passed by They never did
Because she was no longer “Beauty” And she was no longer wanted She had no power She was weak She was unarmed But she was no longer beautiful She was safe
I wrote this after reading Don't Make Me Beautiful. It's a story of a beautiful girl who was abused because of her beauty.
