The line about beauty becoming torment really stayed with me. This felt less like a poem about appearance and more like a reflection on identify, pressure, and self worth
A lot of men and women go through these struggles but differently. A woman can be the most gentle and aesthetically pleasing person the world has ever known and still wonder if she is living in vanity or when she lost her way.
she wonders when her goals to be beautiful became torment” is such a heavy line because so many people silently live inside that question. I appreciate that this poem doesn’t reject beauty, but instead challenges the moment when self-worth becomes dependent on it. The ending felt grounding and honest.
Thank you Tracy. Beauty can be inspirational and innocent in its vulnerability and disarming qualities, but without a moral framework it can become twisted into something else before a woman even realizes what is happening.
