Where is beauty?
Chasing and chasing that dream for lifetimes
Tireless, consistent, focused, and unrelenting
Anxiety gets stronger as age catches up to me
I ache for that magical state of beauty
One day, the dream finally comes true.
But it was not what I had expected or envisioned
I wanted a bottle, a procedure, a magic potion, a validation
Yes, I tried them all before, but there had to be something else yet to be known
I grip onto that belief for dear approval
Beauty was found inside: heart, mind and soul
Disappointing yet liberating
Forever and a day chasing something that was already in my possession
Anywhere but inside, beauty is fleeting.
Outside is loud indeed, but you will never win.
Never.
My head knows this, but my heart still cannot grasp
Inside, you cannot lose what is and always will be yours
