Forsaken Beauty

forsaken by all in a different way

Perfection they say ought to be it all

from head to toe

not a single flaw

but to sing and to sway

and live life

in your own way

 

Is Beauty

 

to dive and to fall

to swim deep

and gently crawl

but to be loud and expressive

 to give each action

an inexcusable meaning

 

Is Beauty

 

to look down upon the dwarfs

not envy slim and long

not be cold or muffle a cough

but to laugh at yourself tripping,

and smile even though

your heart is aching

 

Is Beauty

 

Now you might ask me "why?"

or how I came to this

I'll just say life all around me

is oozing all of this...

 

and when I see her laughing

or him just looking deep

I know beauty isn't selective

just to those on movie screens.
