| For the first part of my life I was an ugly girl. Very overweight and mean, I had few real friends....so once I had starved myself into complete true outer beauty I was overwhelmed. To make up for all the time when I felt so cast out of the group I started my game. You know the one....where you tell every guy that he's your only one and pretend that neglecting him is ok. I mastered my game, and quickly rose to the top of it. Grown men would become helpless to my spell and fall deeply in love with me. No love was returned. Returned? I barely acknowledged the passion in their eyes as I lied with an angelic grin. | The Price Of Beautyby Laura Keene A true short story about parts of my life. |

Suddenly I found myself with a boy that I grew to love quickly and I ended my game. Ended it all leaving every aspect of my former life behind so I could focus on him. And then it hits.....he doesn't care as much as I. He doesn't pour himself into a mold for me and try to cater to my every need. Finally, after countless nights crying alone, I have realized what fell apart. Nothing did. It is all coming back to me. All those crying eyes that wept for me....this was how I would come to understand true feeling. Only through the pain could I know how awful I had made so many innocent people feel. And so...women-when you see that young beautiful perfect looking girl don't think she's conceited or wrong for flaunting her body a little. She has earned that hip shake when she walks. Her beauty comes at a price that she will have to pay, no matter if it is sooner or later. I am not the only one who has traded happiness for vanity.....but I realize now that I am one of the few who can face their own error. © Laura Keene 2003 |
