Beauty

To be beautiful that's all you cared 
But its the Beauty behind all that I seek 
To lose your beauty that's all you feared 
So you rather to loose your sanity to be sleek 

Ashes to ashes we'll all go back to dust 
Living a Lie and only loving to lust
Now spare me the truth, let's keep it real 
You have a soft touch and a heart of steel

Your makeup and hair, your best friends 
Music and party you traded for love 
I kept to myself hoping this would end 
Everyone sitting cute and playing pretend 

Beauty, simply a priceless treasure 
Let's take a perfect picture together 
Then look back tell me what you see... 
See how beautiful we both could be.

Sad, but beautiful. How our insecurities can plague us and in the end let us miss out on so many special things. Beautiful writing. Thank you.
