The Bondage of Beauty

The trap of being beautiful? All the strings have already been tied. The initial impact holds power. But all sight is an illusion, thus beauty's illusive nature. Slippery. Tricky. Permanently temporary. Lasting beauty must have a strong foundation - an internal framework designed to support more than a pretty shell. Time is cruel. If all your quality is on the outside - you'll shrivel like a raisin in the sun. Such sweetness is youth's future returns. So goes my song.
