Our False Perceptions
of Beauty
By Megan Wheeler
To change the alphabet would be divine.
The meaning behind the letters
Would change the meaning behind the words
Change the meaning behind the cruel sentences
Change what fuels my nightmares.
These changed meanings would change
The mouths that have been sewed to a person’s face.
It would change how we, as misguided humans, see ourselves.
Change how others see us
How our seemingly unimportant reflections see us.
Our world that we have been forced into would change
The meaning of letters
Words
Sentences
Paragraphs
Pages
And more importantly,
The chapters that make up our lives.
