Beauty is Pain

Beauty is pain, Or so they say. But what of the beauty That comes from within? The strength, the courage, The kindness and grace That light up a face And bring a smile to a place. That beauty is real, And it never fades. It shines like a star And lights up the way. Beauty is pain,  A phrase so often said.  But what of the beauty  That lies in a scar?  The strength, the resilience,  The courage to heal  That marks a journey  And tells a tale.  That beauty is real,  And it never fades.  It shines like a beacon  And lights up the way.
