An Axiom


Beauty

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

But behold the truth

Constant influences to change

Change

Change

Change or stay the same

What I choose

Me

Or media views

Crooked teeth

Or pearly whites

Why am I being told

What to do with my life

I want to be me

Only me

Flawless me

It’s not photo shopped

Or remastered

It’s perfectly imperfect

That’s all you may ask for
