Like the liquor that flows into many a cup

So are the words from the tip of your tongue

Too carefree, too ignorant to their impact

A perception fueling hatred of another’s reflection

A transparent inception of the medias conception

Whilst you diss her complexion saying it's a shade too dim

You only expose your own lack of self esteem

And now she can no longer see the sparkle on her skin

Or even that so obviously gorgeous grin

Yet in spite of the words you feel the need to instill

To brew a feeling less dire within

She is beautiful still
