Paradigm Change



I am ugly.
My poems make you walk away realising that you are ugly.
However you are also change.
What you do can be beautiful or ugly.
How your face and body changes is beautiful and ugly.
Words for ugliness can be surprising and even beautiful.
Words for beauty can be plain and ugly.
Not telling you this is beautiful and ugly.
Telling you this is beautiful and ugly.
Looking at your family's inner self and seeing them as ugly is beautiful and ugly.
Looking at your innerself and seeing yourself as beautiful is beautiful and ugly.
The world's most beautifully stigmatised people are most likely to be seen.
Average people are also most likely to be seen.
The only difference between them is change itself.
However you change though, your core paradigm cannot change too much for you to handle. That is Gods will.
