Beau Ou Belle

Be elegant
Hold your chin high, posture!
Always strive to be relevant
With those who lie low, do not bother

Embody allure
Be a symbol of affection
Keep up with the best couture
Be of fair complexion

Resemble a painting
Hold ‘good-selfishness’
Never be close to fading
Never succumb to pettishness

Live as perfection
Show it to be effortless
Be proud of your reflection
Be the most generous

Embrace your beauty… though it is only a facade
