beauty (for beautiful)

outer beauty is easy
you're either born with it
or medicine can take care of it
and
either way
someone will always find someone physically beautiful

inner beauty is not so easy
not so sure you are born with it
or if medicine can take care of it
and
either way
someone will always find fault
even if it's only yourself

beauty can be coloured with rainbows
or camouflaged with puppies
but that's artificial and not critical thinking
it has to be formed from a vision
of you
by you
that is not stable on quicksand
but formed on Precambrian Shield
rock-hard truth

and this formation can be built
over weaker truths
over past regrets
over hurting memories
but
like addictions
only if you really, really, real y
want it

and i know you have it
for i have found it in you
through the dark illusions
the pain, the suffering,
the giving not returned
the resistance to embrace it

and all i can do
is hope you find it too.
