"Shallow Thoughts"
By: Pierre Marc Paras
Written: October 27, 2010

As I looked into the abyss that were her eyes
I thought I don't think your beautiful...I'm sorry...
I said I do not think that you are beautiful.
I'm sorry but quite honestly
The make up you wear screams novels of insecurities and dishonesty.
No longer a novelty. See
Make-up. A content originally meant to compliment a woman now corrupts her connection to a man's conception of what quality content really is.
Please do not reinvent natural beauty.
It's irrational, unnatural.
And its So sad to see you So Misguided n mistaught
Empty Hollow inside with shallow thoughts
In such delusions your are caught
I hate, I said I hate when most women are enraptured with vanity
See u can
Lay upon ur face inch thick white powder make up on lips lay lipstick like red frosting and sprinkle on a fake tan so that u look baked
But you will never be the winning cake
Cuz there is nothing sweet with being fake.
At times women are too wrapped up in the drama.
The Beauty in simplicity is now lost in search of unrealistic complexities
Ladies you forget to remember what you stress upon us men, we are simple!
you call us nicknames like sweetheart, teddybear, booboo, or panda...
It's cute and all but I'd rather you just called me your man
And Yes! I do think you look fat in those jeans...
But it's alright cuz that's the way I like it!
Take it as P-h-a-t rather than F-a-t
Cuz you're not anorexic and ur not obese
Honestly, I have no interest in knowing how ur jeans fit
Id rather know about you.
i'd rather know Your desires and ur goals...
I will never ever notice your new shoes.
I can't look at your shoes cuz I am lost in your eyes
Lost in ur voice, in the words when you cry
I have no care for what you wear cuz I'd rather know what's on your mind.
We are who we are...
I am who I am...
You are who you are...
and You Are fucking Gorgeous!
why can't you see that?!
And who ever gave u the idea being all ghetto fabulous and overly tough
(with the psshh o hell naw nigga he dint....improv.....)
who ever said that was attractive, lied to you!
A man wants a woman. A lady.
A lady who commands but never demands attention
and when my eyes lay upon a lady
I find myself fixated on her natural essence
and I hope I speak with eloquence
So I could match her elegance
and yes I used that line before but it still holds relevance
So Ladies...
Replace arrogance with confidence.
ignorance with intellect.
Vanity with reality.
Have some taste...
have some class...
I beseech you
Like the clothes on this floor.
wipe off your face...
Focus not on the excess!
Stay true and allow the real beauty in you to shine through.

[povertron]

So true when two become one and one becomes overly focused on self image you get two unhappy people. If I had of had the eloquence and the voice to get the message across perhaps we could have avoided this impasse.
