sonnet 16

what is beauty? it is the hidden heart,
the secret of the self — the soul within;
the side of man which is the better part:
that glow and warmth unhid by earthly skin.
what then is beauty? not the charming face,
for oft the shell reveals a rusty core;

i have
no fears.
so,
i follow,
this road.
the only one,
the true.
yes.
here.
behold.
the solution:
my equation.
