Hey for all of those who follow my work and enjoy reading my poetry.
This is a new poem I've titled "Beautiful (BE-A-U-TI-FUL)".. I love the fact that I have a blog, because it give me a venue to explain my work and allow you to dig deeper into the though process behind the product sooo...I hope you enjoy =)
Beauty is a word that I wrestle with ALOT. Its all manufactured off of perception. How a person perceives another and what is considered "pleasing" in one's eye sight. How we determine what is "pleasing" is all in the method of comparison. We constantly SEE in the media what is TOLD to us to be "Beautiful"...Actresses and Media icons give us some kind of "measuring stick" as to exactly what we perceive "beauty" to be. The hard part is learning that beauty is something that has to be a person opinion thats placed personally on one's self. Once you began to see yourself as Beautiful, comparisons won't matter. What is being fed isn't abstaining mentally.
But without further adieu,
"Beautiful (BE-A-U-TI-FUL)"
Beauty in this world is as misconceptualized as the thought of America
“The prettiest people do the ugliest things”
Lowering to one night stands and college flings
Because standards were set high before self confidence even began
Subconscious ambitions from perspective opinions
We only yearn for what’s “in”
Like a new fad or dying trend
I’ll take me ah, Red bone, long hair,
Slim figure with eyes lighter than the norm
Hey excuse me miss!...You are…Beautiful??
Having qualities that give great pleasure
Or satisfaction to see…
Or at least that’s what they TOLD me
With my third eye in which I named heart
Im able to look past what’s not “pleasing”
And call it… art…
Philosophies on Beauty fill endless pages or dying paper
Aristotle…Plato…And Socrates
Opinions in which all equate equal to what we see
And perceive to be…Beauty
He said, she said.. glamorous magazine spread..
Extra Extra, come get what’s being FED
Beauty can be found in the indulgement of the ill -literature
Not thinking twice about biased viewpoints backed by personal experience
And we wonder why there are so many self conscious people
Because earlier on in her life she always used to hear
Just how beautiful she was
Infiltrating past her maturing self confidence
It always used to make her feel good when people used to TELL HER
Kinda like a substandard photosynthesis
A process that converts compliments into sugars that
Fed her..Self-Esteem…Creating polluted thoughts
That later kill her confidence..
Forgetting that powerlessness is only a state of the mind
And as long as she stay stuck in her “box” mentality
She would fail to see
Outside of what’s holding her in captivity
Only if she knew that BEAUTIFUL
Is all about BEing A U TI the FULlest
No carbon copies, Xerox, or repeat
It’s true when they say Beauty is in what we see
But I want you to ask
Do I see beauty….in me??....
