Beauty

Haven't written in a while but this is what my mind is on at the moment

beauty
is just the mirage
to cover up
yeah just a visage
a false image
based on false ideals
now look at me
as I carve and peel
that pretty little face
off of your skull
and wear it as a mask
see? beauty isn't real
now tell me a lie baby
yeah one more time
how does it feel
to look into the mirror
and see yourself
a little bit clearer
now look me in the eye
as I shred your image
and show the world what you look like
without your disguise

I really enjoyed this write, I love the emotions in this.

Wise and clued-up, reasonable and judicious... This poem has more than one signification in it... It handles a real message about how fake the most of us become... I like the way you took it to put off her mask, so slow, so imaginative and so powerful... and the last lines are a kick-a*s. I love it.

Very true, there are so many people who pretend to be what they aren't, just to impress others. Personally, I think they're disgusting for wanting to change who they really are. Excellent poem.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but ugly is to the bone. Someone can be pretty on the outside, but repulsive on the inside. And I have met my share of those in my day.
