The beast lurks within each one of us, but
Beauty brings no measure of safety.
For wearying flesh reveals writ clear
Received myths of beauty, past and present.
Tossed into deepest darkness, our beast is unredeemed
The unfit spotted mirror remind us- all are doomed
Botox,Body Sculpting, lotions foul and pungent
Create doe eyed Bratz and Barbie look-a-likes who
Search deeply their reflection for a glimpse of
Once upon a time true self, acceptance and diversity.

I really liked your selection of poems for February's theme Isabel. You were very prolific! Your writing pulls no punches - very strong.
