marble holds beauty. 
that's what ponies tell me,
the statues they saw.
chiseled by hoof
into
beauty.
in galleries,
you find it in galleries.
marble
manipulated by tools and instruments.
changed to reflect our own form.
mutilated.

marble holds beauty,
it does.
why do we have to hurt it to see that?
can't we find it as it is?
is marble really only as good as what we can form from it?

i like marble.
i think it's beautiful.
i don't want it to change.
i don't want to change.
i just want to be beautiful.
