Beauty

Beauty does not exist. 

Only in the minds of dreamers

artists

and lovers

They believe in beauty.

But beauty is an unbelievable fairytale

to be forgotten and scorned after age five

but for the dreamers

it would have faded

but for now,

we must chase after this demon called beauty

Beauty:

Is it true you can buy it for only ten fifty five?

That's what the man behind the counter told me

as he pointed to the poster 

framed in pubescent boys' rooms around the world

but I'm no dreamer

and I don't have ten fifty five to spare

for perfect eyes, "perfect" hair

I may not be beautiful

but I'm ten fifty five richer than those who are.
