The Truth dots

-------------------------------------------

Rich and beautiful
Their defining masks fade
And melt and diverge to a puddle
Of former eloquence
Their previous features, so compelling at first
Lie lost and ripped away;
A natural state
One might say,

God pounded the mold into beauty to hide
Their shortcomings, too deep to restore at the heart
And the murky moments swirl there, thriving on the stone floor
I glance, and I try to observe my reflection
It’s there…it's all torn apart

A face they say haunts them, burned into their eyes
In truth, they are muddled; confused and untruthful
They swore love, and to love they so pledge
And in truth, every one of them
Lies

How true it is that beauty often comes at a price! There are different kinds of beauty, both without and within. So many people, and I'm not talking so much about above-average looking people, but the ones who are truly physically blessed, come up short in other areas. There are compensations. Each individual has been given gifts by God, and that is what makes us truly unique. We all need to learn to use our gifts fully; to live up to our potential. Often those who seem to have it all really don't have much. They can coast along on their money and/or looks alone, and often fail to grasp the life lessons that others of us must face on a daily basis. Once a mask is stripped away, a person lies naked and vulnerable to the opinions, the hurts, that others may bestow upon us, knowingly or otherwise. Learning not to hide behind a mask can be tough, but it's worth it in the end. People will see who you really are, and will be able to make truthful assumptions about your character. This can seem like both a curse or a blessing, but all in all, who wants to live a life with no real friends? We all have things we don't like about our appearance, and must learn to make the best of what we have. The harder part is learning self-acceptance. I have often wished I looked different, but if I did, what would that have brought me? I want people to love me for who I am, not what I look like. It must be hard for people to be loved for their looks, their money, for things not based on accomplishment. I don't want to be one of those people behind whose back is whispered, "well, she looked good, until she opened her mouth!" That is what I mainly got out of your poem, though there is more. It is an excellent subject, a deep one, and you broached it eloquently. It was very well-written, especially in the way you somehow managed to avoid sounding harsh despite the strong nature of the words. In this way, it invites a second look, to extract a deeper meaning. Well done.
