Beauty without Vanity

But pure authenticity, and I seek that

In an era, when people

are going crazy over looks —

going under the scalpel,

traveling to Korea or Turkey —

for aesthetic tourism.

I spend barely a penny

on grooming my appearance.

I don’t need to.

Getting love or confidence

doesn't depend on appearance.

Why so?

Because I value time,

I spend it learning,

and writing on real issues

to raise public awareness.

I may be exhausted after that —

with my spine hurting,

my eyes strained —

but I feel so beautiful.

Can you relate?

Do you value

that kind of beauty —

free of vanity,

but full of authenticity?
