The Ugliness Within

Where Does Your Beauty Lie? Does it lie within your heart? Or is it a lie itself? I'm tired of materialistic little divas that care about nothing more than their appearance. No matter what you do, if you don't have inner beauty, then you are very ugly indeed.


"What's wrong with that lady?" a three year old said,
and pointed directly to the young woman's head.

"She looks kinda funny!", said a smart boy of four.
"Her skin looks like someone has worn it before!"

The young woman was stunned by the brutal, true comments.
She tried to forget, but the harsh words would torment.

Where had she gone wrong? She'd done everything!
Botox, enhancements, and tanning and creams!

She thought she WAS beautiful, but these children say she's not!
She visited the powder room of the very next shop.

The hatred she felt when she looked in the mirror!
The wrinkles and lines could not have been clearer.

"I hate children!" she thought, to soothe her hurt.
She was glad she'd decided to NEVER give birth. (stretch marks, she'd heard, were some what of a curse!!!)

"What good was a child with it's interference?"
She would not have been able to keep up her appearance.

Now she goes on with vanity in her heart.
Searching for beauty in bottles and jars.

She cares not that true beauty comes from within.
She desperately fights a battle she can't win.

Remember her story, if for only this purpose.
The ugliness within can rise to the surface.
