"Beauty"
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
the beholder has seemed to have overlooked me
At one time I was beautiful

"No, you're not a blonde,
No, you like sports instead of dolls,
you can't be beautiful as you are."
"OK, I will change,
I want to be beautiful."

The beholder's gaze began to turn
as she saw me changing

I changed my hair from fiery to yellow
I changed my body from soft to bony
I changed my attitude from confident to cynical
I changed myself into something I wasn't

"Now you are beautiful."

"But what do I do with the beauty?"
