Standards of beauty are as unrealistic as our need to feel beautiful.After all,It's not our looks that will satiate our hunger to attract the eyes of our soulmate.It's our smile when alone,Dealing with pain no one else is aware of,Besides yourself.The happiness you shine across the room needing no one's company,But,Your own...If glossy lips,Curvy hips,Rings...

Sight For Sore Eyes – Day 231, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Sore.Exhausted.From carrying weight on two shoulders trembling over an extended lay-off,From caring about herself.She tries to smile,But,How can she when it's been years since she's been called beautiful by anyone?And.What really tears me apart is,How enchanting her pupils are,As black as a blackberry is purple.Like,The only Tulip blossoming in a field of grass turning beige...

The Most Beautiful – Day 171, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Beautiful would be the only way to describe you.A blessing it was to rub your shoulders down and remind you of that.I'm saddened how you were made to feel ugly,While deteriorating in front of everyone to see.But…Your image is way too far from horrendous to me.My only grandmother,Who cared to love my existence regardless of...

No, I Am Not. – Freewrite #39
"Oh, he has to be gay!" At least, that's what I was told by a woman I refused to give attention to while walking with her child laying innocently inside of his or her stroller.
