I was taught
Beauty is abstract, it can’t be purchased
Later I found people taking 30 days challenges
To get it faked

I was taught
Acnes are due to adolescence
But now people don’t have them
Thanks to Candy Camera Fluorescence

I was taught
Grace comes with knowledge and meditation
But people came with another way
They started shutting down their lactation

No one is black or brown
No one is fat,
No one is frown
Swagger is on high
Spirituality somewhere left to die.

The people talked to you again today.
You said they made fun of your body.
The only thing in your eyes was humiliation.
You told me they make you feel ugly.

But baby, I know you don't see what I do.
Because anything that is beautiful.
People want to break.
Unfortunately, you are beautiful.

You told me that you're ashamed of your body.
They said you're disgusting.
They told you that you were fat and unworthy.
But I'll love you no matter what form you take.

But baby, I know you don't see what I do.
Because anything that is beautiful.
People want to break.
Unfortunately, you are beautiful.

You need to realise one of these days.
The body you have.
Is the perfect one to me.
You are beautiful.

Amidst the dark sky tonight, she remembers the sky so blue-- so sad. Its reflection she sees in the sea is so ugly. She saw a face with Mona Lisa smile that people have seen but have not felt because they don't bother.

She was always a canvass-- plain, waiting for others to color her world. And sometimes when it's dark, she thanks the darkness for she can see the ugly reflection no longer.

It's her time of the day to become a poetry, a masterpiece built from dreams and feelings. It's her time to be felt rather than seen-- to die as Mona Lisa and to live as Kilmer's "Tree."

Because they don't know, they don't know that she doesn't want to be like that. That she wants to do so much more than to just smile.

But i will never be
Elated
At my appearance
Undressed in the mirror
Tracing a body
Inferior compared to every other
Flawed
Unworthy of
Love

Love me!
The mirror cried,
And I looked away in shame.

sometimes
when i look in the mirror
i see something
beautiful

but
when i look again
it's gone
don't stare for too long

"I'm ugly" said the ugly man,
who enjoys poetry but doesn't
feel like there are any longer,
more beautiful words put
down by dead men that would
describe him more perfectly.
And to said poets romantic
disappointment; it did not pain
him anymore. As it never did.
And thus,
he is nothing to write further about.
The poem about the ugly man ends


here.
