Vegetable Soup



How glamorous
The epitome of beauty
Discipline
Will power
Strength
But if you ask,
she won't tell you.
Vegetable soup
isn't quite the same
on the way back up.
The attempt to reach beauty
comes in such an ugly way
Discipline
so uncontrolled
Will power
disastrously misdirected
And strength
displayed in such weakness.
The epitome of beauty
The epitome of irony
The epitome of sickness
