Inside the Suit

Inside the Suit

2/17/15

To me—

A cute top is more attractive than the girl inside

And a nice suit holds more appeal than the man.

Of course, there is something to be said for:

A fine face—

Handsome hair—

And energetic eyes

And there is good reason to avoid

Scrappy skin—

Horrible hair—

And crappy clothes.

But really, it’s what’s inside the suit

Hidden by the outer layer and forced to fit a single form

That really counts.

The hidden part—

The heart—

The soul—

The essence.

The suit we wear is like the shell of a clam—

The precious pearl is on the inside

And you don’t know what you’ll find

Until you look past the hard, plain shell.

The pearl could be fundamentally flawed

Or it could be yet to ripen

Or in rarer circumstances—

It could be black.

Or maybe—

For some unknown reason—

It just

Looks

Wrong.

But still—

You never know what you might find until you look inside,

Take away the outer suit,

Do not judge the shell,

And decide for yourself if you like the pearl.

So though I find

Men—

Women—

Attractive,

That really isn’t what is important.

What matters most

After you take away the suit

Is

The

Pearl.
