Here is my absolutely new entry, which is my original poetry. I uploaded my picture, steemit name and date as stated in the rules by @bambam808.


THE TRAP OF BEAUTY !!

They call me beautiful,
but it doesn't EXHILARATE ME,
I don't want to be one of those people,
who DISCRIMINATE ME,

by saying thank you,
I don't want to SUPPORT,
A division of humans, I don't want to ACCORD.

You need not be happy,
when someone praises your facial FEATURES,
coz there is no holy book chapter,
that explains the concept of beauty
of any CREATURE.

the truth is that beauty can only be DEFINED,
when a person adopts, the traits of the DIVINE.

We humans have grown INTELLIGENCE,
& we thus don't bias genders, caste, color or RELIGION.
But still asleep, we need to REALIZE,
people's beauty shouldn't be a base to CATEGORIES.

We all have our own definitions of BEAUTY,
some people consider it fairness,
some examine the placement of
eyes, nose, lips and BOOTY.

others change their definitions from TIME TO TIME,
sometimes praising a healthy figure,
sometimes being skinny is how beauty is DEFINED.
We trust a criteria with no rigid explanation,
the criteria of beauty is different from MIND TO MIND.

We all have our own PERCEPTION,
The discrimination of ugly and beauty,
is nothing but a DECEPTION.
It's time that we open our EYES,
Behave logical and behave WISE.

How can we declare something to be alluring,
when its only our opinions,
that makes this CHOICE.

Opinions which are different according to every PERSON,
which carry impermanence
and a huge likelihood of OBVERSION.

We trust these constantly reforming OPINIONS,
how idiotic are we, to trust such an OBLIVION.

Beauty is a trap, to trap you in the TEMPORARY,
because nothing remains beautiful forever,
& so the ugly need not WORRY.

No matter how good you look you still cannot assure
you'll find true LOVE,
there are people who leave even the mot gorgeous,
for money, peace and someone LUXURIOUS.

Don't ever trust a person who loves you for being PRETTY,
those who praise looks will leave you,
as soon as they find another BEAUTY.

By judging a person just by their looks,
we ignore so many of their other QUALITIES,
don't always call them just beautiful,
they also want to be recognized
by their other ABILITIES.

We are no-one to call a woman beautiful and the other UGLY,
because we were not given any certificate to judge between
the hideous and the LOVELY.

We need to stop DISCRIMINATING,
only then will we find,
the beauty in EVERYTHING.

We need to cognize that beauty is not in people or THINGS,
We need to realize that from mind does the beauty BEGINS.

So when beauty resides in our own perspective and not in other THINGS,
then let's make everything beautiful outside,
by being beautiful WITHIN.

Let us not crave,
TO BE, TO GET, TO SEE, the most BEAUTIFUL,
Let us understand that there is nothing repugnant in the world,
and everything is already BEAUTIFUL.

I like the idea in the poem, but one thing that defines the beauty with the face is the facial expression. One do not look at your arm, or legs and say that you are beautiful. Yeah, one can say about a figure being perfect or sexy, but that doesn't mean that you will be attractive to the person. Attraction and beauty comes with the expression, and expressions come from emotional intelligence. So, if someone compliments you with the word 'beautiful', it doesn't mean he is commenting just for your skin color or eye color, it is for your intelligence, which you express.

Thank you for the comment sanjay, but I would appreciate if people call me intelligent if they think I am so. Placing the wrong words would obviously leave a wrong impression. And also, there are unknown people also who call other people beautiful without even actually knowing them. That is why people fall in love so quick and get separated even more quickly. What do you think?

Well, this makes me think a bit more. You said 'wrong impression' but how does that make a wrong impression? I think 'beautiful' combines everything and expresses the interest in a somewhat romantic way. It is always your choice to show it back or not. I don't think it is wrong to have romantic interests, it is natural. You also might have your own, and to show it to the person of your interest you would also use some words, maybe 'handsome' etc. And that is completely okay I think, not wrong. Emotional intelligence attracts people socially and if you get a lot of 'beautiful' word then you must be socially very good. Thats all, I would say.
Anyway, putting our views aside, you did a great job with the poem, expressed yourself well and words rhymes well.

very well done @himshweta. all the best!
