Beauty is Ugliness
by
Caitlin Ryvlin  

What is beauty?

Is it an option?

Is it the muddled truth?

I don't like beauty.

It only gets in the way of what's inside.

Beauty is in the eyes of Satan.

Saints are not beautiful

They are only pure.

Models are not sexy with their wax figures

But some day, the wax will melt

And the truth will ooze out of the ashes and smoke

I don't believe in beauty.

It's for the oppressed.

Beauty is a curse.

People with beauty are shattered

I don't think beauty is real.

It's only a hallucination.

Why don't you look inside my soul?

Why can't you see through my breasts and into my heart?

I want you to see my love, but all you see is flesh

Beauty is for the fragile

We need it, like chocolate

I want you to see my ugliness

I want you to love my folding stomach, my swaying thighs

I want you to love me for what I am inside.

You can't see me if you only glance at my shadow.

You have to caress my emotions.

You have to fondle my breath and hear my whispers.

But please don't ask questions.

Just accept me

Why do you challenge my feelings?

My love is stronger than your false beauty.

My feelings are real and true to me.

Please see my inner, lucent light.

Try to surrender yourself to the essence of my eyes.

Kiss my lips as they quiver and taste my texture.

Don't try to conceive my mysterious soul.

Don't belittle my spirit.

Try to see the beauty that coats my inner body.

Don't love me until you have enclosed yourself in my arms

And you can feel my heart beating.
