"beauty is as beauty does"


the industry of human happiness selects candidates to model "beauty"
Few look like us-awkward,ungainly,overweight
We waddle on a catwalk,not slim thin knife edge anorexics
with figures reminescent of young Pan boys
They represent another alien species-
those who believe "the hat makes the man"
"you are what you wear""suit makes sweet"
Every cliche has a price.Self-scarrers ,bulimics with body issues
Suicides insecure in their body armor.Those who are made to feel less
because they are more.How many silent in the face of fashion?
Who speaks to those designers creations?Is it not your actions
will redeem you?/not the clothes you wear/nor your hair style...
Do not confuse container with contents.Core beauty this-
who we are in response to others.By ourselves,we are enough.
We are more with those who laugh at the fraud of fashion.
You do not need to buy Botox poison.You are beauty.It is within.
