BEHIND THAT BEAUTY

~BEHIND THAT BEAUTY~

Behind every beauty, lies another beauty-

A beauty that speaks louder and paints

The true colours of the beauty behind.

Behind that beauty, is a slippery world of walls 

Where all men must endeavour to climb

In order to win the banner of trust

And to achieve the trophy of love.

Behind that beauty is sadness lurking 

Just behind those extraordinary eyes.

Behind that beauty is a tale to tell.

A roller coaster ride 

That speaks Of Love, loss, pain, gain

Heartbreaks and Victories. 

Behind that beauty lies humility 

Formed by numerous experiences. 

A door leading to a bit of ugliness inside in disguise.

A past full of histories of negativity, ills and wrongs 

And once there dwelt insecurity and vanity

In an age of immaturity.

Despite these poisons, 

Failure failed to corrupt that beauty 

Or crush the human decency behind that beauty

Behind that alluring smile lies

An enticing heart, 

It’s a paradise of scam, a world full of shames 

That aims at nothing tangible-yet stakes a claim to fame

Expecting bows before a throne of jealousy.

A beautiful foundation that once

Held an unstable core of emotions

That ran deep with contempt and scorn

For those who tried to guess at what lay beneath,

Holding secret desires that beauty within,

Played hide and seek…

It seems there's so much beauty

That lies behind that beauty.
