If you seek to see a soul through skin, you'll see it
Here a freckle, there a line;
Character is as unique as appearance
and every imperfection of the skin
is an imperfection of the soul.

Each blemish betrays your desperate hunger for a hiding place;
a neglected wound
an age telling wrinkle
evidence around the eyes to convict you
of happiness.

Even make up can't conceal the secret written
all over your face
Just as your face can't conceal the truth
written all over your make up.

Character is as scarred as appearance
And the beautiful are nothing more
than beautiful liars,
for beauty is the most conspicuous
blemish of all.

You can look at yourself;
Your skin will tell you who you are

Or you can sit around peeling at the corners of your skin
Like a label
you can't get off the bottle.
