The Flip-Side Of Beauty Poem by Abigail Hauschild

The Flip-Side Of Beauty



To be seen as beautiful by men is to be trapped
Beauty is put in boxes
Preconceived notions, fantasies, stereotypes, and idealizations
All constrict it's freedom
To be beautiful is to be
Tugged and pulled and stretched
Worn thin by expectation
Forced up on a pedestal
Beauty is a poison that infects everything
And everyone
It touches
I would not wish Beauty on anyone
