Complicated Beautiful

Complicated Beautiful
The complicated want has its own beauty
Not despite the complications, the duty
Of honesty that the complicated want requires
Is a beauty of its own, the fires
Of the complicated desire are their own
Most honest light, the complicated’s grown

Complicated beautiful, the truth of the mixed
Complicated beautiful, the world unfixed
And honest, the complicated want is real
Complicated beautiful is what I feel

The simple desire is one kind of beautiful
The uncomplicated want is dutiful
And clean, but the complicated has its own
Depth of beauty that the simple’s shown
Can’t reach, the complicated beautiful
Is the beauty of the full and dutiful

Complicated beautiful, the truth of the mixed
Complicated beautiful, the world unfixed
And honest, the complicated want is real
Complicated beautiful is what I feel

I’ll embrace the complicated beautiful
I’ll stop trying to be the dutiful
Simplifier of the full complex
I’ll hold the complicated in the next
Moment and the one after, complicated
Beautiful is not something to be hated

Complicated beautiful, the truth of the mixed
Complicated beautiful, the world unfixed
And honest, the complicated want is real
Complicated beautiful is what I feel
