There is no such thing
As beauty or ugliness,
No such thing
As being attractive or unattractive,
There is only perception,

No woman is beautiful,
No woman is ugly,
Until you name her so...

There is no difference,
In the curve of her belly,
Or the curve of her breast,
Yet we're the ones,
Who insist upon the differentiation
Of the two

Why must you call one color
Beautiful,
And another ugly,
When there is someone out there
Who would ******,
Just to have the ability
To see color for a day or two,

Why do we raise lives above,
And smash them below,
Our own,
Based merely,
On the look of them

We call a spider ugly,
And disgusting,
So we smash it under our toes
Yet entranced by
The beauty of the butterfly,
We giggle when it flies under our nose,

So I tell you again,
I beg listen,
There is no such thing
As beauty
Or ugliness
Only
Our perception
Makes it so
