they say beauty is skin deep, so i dug for it. i cut open every vein, in search of colors and wonders. i've always longed for beauty. like those girls on runways. their sleek slender legs and perfect tan face. i wanted it. i wanted it all. i examined every piece of flesh and felt every bone within me. some say that beauty is something that will always be found. others say we all die trying to find it. beauty flooded my bathtub that night in every shade of red. you should have seen the look on my father's face. i was finally everything that i ever hoped to be: beautiful.
