Some women are born without the pretty faces
or the alluring bodies that attract men.
They’re never asked to dance at high school
dances, and they might be called nasty names
by mean high school boys who find them
unattractive.
And these women may never find love
their entire lives
and go to the grave never having married
or been loved by a man.
Why does life have to be like this? Why do
some women have all the advantages and
some none when it comes to looks and love?
If reincarnation exists, maybe women who
are beautiful in one life are unattractive in
their next lives to sort of balance their
karma out for greater spiritual growth.
Or maybe it’s an unfair luck of the draw
whether a woman is born attractive or not.
Fortunately, some women who are unappealing
to men on the outside are beautifully alluring
on the inside and find love.
But, alas, I cannot imagine how sad it must be
for a woman to realize she wasn’t born pretty like
other women and may never experience romantic
love.
And I find the unfairness of that so goddamn tragic.
