Beauty and the Beast

Beauty am I -
Distanced from the faltering folk,
Refined amongst a cesspool of inelegance,
  Careful amidst the innately reckless,
     Vivid in my devotion.
Beauty am I, unobtainable
   Enigmatic, desirable
A picturesque prize.
 Beauty.
AM I?
I know -
What I am
I am
Aloof from the gazes
Which settle on skin,
Blundering in a flawless life,
Indignant to every/whispered word,
Imperfect.
I am
Secretive in silent reflection,
Somber when the hills
Around me are alight,
Dejected, derided, desperate,
Beast.
