Beauty Comes From Within
We’ve learned that beauty’s from within, but let there be no doubt,
Sometimes it takes a bit of squeezing to coerce the beauty out.
Our inner selves are selfish, and would gladly stay that way,
Except our friends compel us to be pleasant every day.
It isn’t such a burden, we enjoy it, after all,
But somedays it’s quite a distance from the bedroom to the hall.
We always put a mask on, of pleasant smiles and care,
But keep in mind there is a vice that tightens under there.
Our vices are our secrets. They’re not for public view,
Wisely we do conceal them, for they are hidden assets too.
The pressure has to be controlled, it must be nicely done,
For bringing out a bit of charm for each and every one.
