The Price We Pay To Feel Beautiful

The price we pay
to feel beautiful
is much more
then we can afford
it costs our money
our time
and sometimes 
our health

For example: Me
a freshman girl
going to a
Valentine's dance
Slathering on 
a leg hair 
removal product
Today my legs itch
and welts appear
and I know
beauty is pain

We will always
want to feel
beautiful
and we will always pay
with money
time 
and health
and we will never
be satisfied
