How ugly are the things which are beautiful….. How hazy is our perception of beauty….

                             “Ugly Beauty”

How distorted is our perception of beauty?…..

How ugly are things ,which are beautiful.

For some , its a lump of soft fat.

for some its a harder one

For some its an edgy frame,

for some its a thin waist.

For some its eyes , dirty ,

but only in the morning.

For some its lips , pasted on a mouth . filled with sputum,

but not always.

For some ,its long boned legs,

for some it is a brighter looking face .

Features may seem fine ,

but are they ?

can they be ?

Waxy ears , mucusy nose and sputumy mouth .

How distorted is our perception of beauty……..

    your truth is enlightening. how many really perceive beauty as an internal being or external eye candy? your poem makes me wonder.
