THE BURDEN OF BEAUTY

Folder: 
JOURNAL #35

how must it be

to stand

beneath the weight

of

'The Burden Of Beauty'

where does the string theory

fade

in this matter of indiscriminate

fate

that which guides one out

of the guise

that the bond of

physical beauty defies

flagrantly

too often in fact

't is a burden

like great wealth

one could surmise

only cloaked

from the inside

like the trappings

of debt

where what the outside world

envies

the perceived to be blessed

could argue such point

to the contrary

some days

to her very last breath

to the congress of truth

that old adage holds strong

no book's cover

can ever be

adequately judged

while so unreasonably wronged....................

Author's Notes/Comments: 

how we see very beautiful people and think they have it so great and in many ways I am sure they do but I believe it must be tough too not knowing if you are liked or loved for yourself rather than the lovely package your parents genes gave to you upon your birth.
