Beauty is a stupid thing, anywhere you go, <br />The more I see pretty faces, the more my sadness grows. <br />Beauty is a bother; it brings me grief and pain, <br />Hanging over me like a cloud of pure petty disdain! <br />Beauty is a label, a superficial brand <br />Guys like me for my looks instead of who I really am. <br />Beauty is hypnotic; it captures young boys' minds, <br />And tells them to be cruel to girls who are sweet and kind. <br />Beauty is a veil, shielding people's eyes <br />And in the hearts of men, beauty is just a prize. <br />But beauty is deceiving, only as deep as skin, <br />And if you keep believing, you'll never see beauty within.<br /><br />Kelly Curiel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-133/
