Beauty

They say beauty is on the inside
	But even the Nobelist of people
	have wicked secrets.
	So who really is beautiful?
	No one.
	Beauty is a man made idea
	So society can value one person
	above the other.
	Since there is no real beauty
	There's no ugliness either.
	Just pretentious people,
	Spending their entire lives trying
	to prove their better then everybody else.
	We all do it.
	We are human after all.
	We try so hard to be different
	But we all end the same way
	Dead.
