Amazing. If only others could see the inside first (in a non-grotesque way.. lol).. You have portrayed what the loving people feel, and the vain can never understand. Beautifully written. Well done. xx

This is gorgeous.
the words you use are .. as you say PRETTY.

And together we'll cremate vanity
along with cosmo magazine
^^
Bravo ! Dear Melissa Bravo !

but age don't mean anything
besides the fact it makes us wise
so why do we apply wrinkle cream
on a face that tells a beautiful story
^^
So very incredibly true !

cause we know the skin
is just an ornamental guise
to what truly matters

^^
I wish these line could be put in every teenage magazine or every magazine for that matter .
Society has looked upon the beautiful and glamorous as near Godesses . And the average person goes unnoticed .
Wonderfully written Melissa, you have shared words of wisdom with the world.

You have written another master piece my friend. Beautifully done. You have taken interactions and a snapshot of society and made it a charicture of itself. Wonderfully done!
