Beauty

In a cage a beauteous flower

            will wilt.

And reborn from it's rot

                        will not rise another flower...

            But a woman.

            She is born from the seed of beauty

 Her beauty will be the most

                        Ugly

           

            Aspect about her.

                        Marvel and envy her,

    For her skin glows gold.

            These blue skies

 Bare down on her shoulders.

      

Upside down is her world of

     nothing but all is okay

            ...in this world.

             The rules can be simple

       You think they aren't.

  When truly they are.

                        Confused?

We know nothing of true beauty

             we know how to fake it.

true beauty is a good thing.

            Is it really?

           

A rose with its

            smooth, silky petals

   and

            pleasant smells.

Also has its deceptions.

A rose with its

            sharp thorns

   that travel down the stem

            deceptively calling you

to it's beauty...

  but only to be pricked.

                        If you're not careful.
