Oleander
Beauty on the Outside, Poison Inside
Be careful what
you wish for.
Sometimes even
beauty has a price
to pay.
Just because it
appeals to the eyes,
doesn't mean it's
good for the heart.
Sometimes it can
be poison in
your veins.
Much like oleander,
I am a paradox
within myself.
You may see beauty
on the outside,
but the inside
is wicked as sin.
