A beautiful lie

Beautiful.
What is the definition of beauty?
Is a picture worth a thousand words, or does it only tell one story?
Why does a frame mean more than the writings of a human heart?
Why are the proportions of our face more important than the obstacles and accomplishments in our heart?

A human heart is not shown on a face.
Beauty is in the small moments
The tight embrace saying, " You made my life worth experiencing"
The tears letting all the dark, oppression out.
The unity through pain.
...and joy.
The deep sacrifice of a parent.
The glow of sunlight and warmth from happiness.
The suffocation and claustrophobia of pain.
The novelty and excitement of young love.
The agony of what could be... of what failed.
The sweet nectar of life is more than the fragile aesthetic it shows.
The sting of a bee is a demonstration of the bee's pain.
Life is a beautiful thing,
not
to be
seen
