  A fine write Alta. Now I thought you meant my singing, cos there may bb beauty in my melodious tones. But there sure is pain, as it sounds to the ears as two cats fighting. So they say! heehee.

    I couldn't help seeing that in the title - then another reason for me to slag off my own singing! Folk will be believing it really IS that bad, at this rate. It'll be my own fault though. lol.

  Emotional pain can be a great teacher for us. Well that has been my experience. However, as can be seen in some younger poets on mps, pain can distort one's outlook and take one to dark places where entrapment temps lurkingly.
  
  Great thought provoking writing.

  I do like your poem. True beauty comes from the inside. The beauty emerges not only from how we reflect that pain but also from how we handle it, i.e. with dignity, compassion, and empathy. With just a few words you captured it perfectly.
