The Cost of Beauty

This is a new poem I wrote.
I don't write poetry much anymore.


The Cost of Beauty
VH Melville
Weights have a price
As you buy them to get a strong body
Fresh produce
Lipstick the color of rust can be purchased
That is not real beauty
Plastic parts cost more
With a hug
You cannot buy grace it is given
You can only things to change our outside casings
Beauty is given with kind words
Best when purchased for you
