Beauty

Beauty on the outside is a curse,

It brings people to their worse. 

Always trying their hardest to be the best,

They soon become obsessed.

Finding flaws and little jests, 

Thinking that they have progressed, 

but little do they know they are possessed.
This evil sin called beauty, 

They feel like they must fulfill a duty. 

When beauty really was on the inside all along, 

They discovered this, they were not strong. 

Beauty slowly breaks them down,

And make you feel like a clown. 

If only everyone would discover, 

That beauty is not on the cover.
