Beautiful

Such a shame
Such a pity
She was so beautiful
She was so pretty

And so early she left this world
And I wonder
Could someone out there
Be missing her

Oh well pretty beauty
Your beauty was only skin deep, and you couldn’t hide
Who you were
On the inside

Beauty you were so cold
You thought you were a queen
But pretty beauty
You were so mean

You weren’t so pretty deep down
So wretched and filled with hate
No one liked you
And now it’s to late

Beauty
What do we write on your grave
Beauty was so pretty
But she was the mirror’s devoted slave

   Thank you very much. I indeed know what song you're referring to, that was one reason I wrote it.

   Great conversation piece. There's this song I've heard on the Christian Radio Station and it directs this line to the mirror, "Who are you to tell me..that I'm less than what I should be, Who are you? Nice Job. ~PEACE OUT

   Thank you both. I appreciate it. It's nice to know that people even take the time to read the words I write. Again thank you both very much for your feedback and your words of kindness.

   Your write gives the readers a lot to think about, beauty fades as sure as the sun rises, all so temporary, not so with our Id/soul who we really are...
