can it be called art if it isn't pretty?
does art's true purpose derive from beauty or truth?
beauty is a lie,
but ugly is real
and honest
and gritty
and realistic.
what he did to me is ugly.
can it ever be made into something beautiful?
does the worth of art solely depend on its beauty?
can pain be beautiful?
