Beauty is the key

Is all I hear my mother say to me

That with it I can get everything I need

And I truely believed it

Beauty was the goal

Its all I ever wanted to achieve

Once I got it I beamed

And I finally got what I wanted

People were falling to there knees

Guys and girls would finally talk to me

But all this came at a cost

And somehow I lost

My best friend, Susie

Who was average and not sub-par

The sweet look I would get in the halls

The gentle push I would get against a wall

The job I wished for when I was little

My eight year old self who wasn't always this bitter

Whose dreams are now with the stars

The stars that don't answer unimportant calls

Because of a call more important than that one

To have what they wanted the most

Beauty
