Beauty
Beauty fades
But beauty is the first thing people notice
Beauty is privilege
One who possesses beauty is privileged
To be beautiful is to be loved
But beauty is also pain
Beauty clouds judgement
But everyone wants beauty
Everyone sees beauty
To be beautiful is to be seen
All they see in me is beauty
They tell me I'm pretty
They love me because I'm pretty
My beauty
My curves
That's all they see and want
Beauty is beautiful
But beauty is pain
And beauty fades
Oh, all the things we do for beauty?
The money we waste on beauty?
Even when it fades
At least we were beautiful
