Tainted!

Blemished by your thoughts,

Treated as material

Vandalized by you

No more aesthetical.

You said already speckled it was

This was what it deserved

Unveiled the flaws

Forbidden to be touched.

Perhaps you saw just the superficial

Forgetting that this is an attire

The visible is not the real

Tainted was the surface.

Hideousness lay in your eyes

Couldn't see through

It was all a lies

Spirit beneath was serene

Out of your reach

'cause you have to have a heart

Virtuousness you cannot breach

With the impure insight.

World may see a marred face

Cursed is everyone with the blind gaze

Still alive in the dreadful space

The soul remains Untouched...
