knowledge vs. beauty

mom, i have one question.

i have always been taught to study, learn so you will work fine and make good money. and so did i. but no one told happiness was not included in the package.

when i say happiness, i mean love.

success, money have always knocked on my door. love never did. good jobs, college and courses are present. happiness wave at me from across the street.

today, mom, i would like to ask why myself - educated and polite - cannot compete with an empty beautiful body. maybe what fills the eyes is more important than what fills your brain. this is not me saying, but i have been called intelligent since i remember i was a person. beauty, yeah, i have called that too but i never bought it. now, i wonder why i was not loved and beauty one is very much loved.

mom, do you love me?

he told me he loves the beauty. beauty says nothing. and, now i know he means that because he told he mother knows. and this is beautiful, i mean love.

mom, i lost.
