Beauty

Beauty cries alone in a room filled with memories
Each passing day Beauty wonders
Wonders whether she should have changed her journeys

The future changes
The past is done

Beauty has pain
Her heart aches

Her loves,
the possibilities, the triumphs
The word defeat isn't in her vocabulary

Beauty cries alone in a room filled
with memories

Despite being weary,
she is a survivor,
has perseverance

Beauty thinks about life
The mistakes that bring on life's somber rain

Born out of the bull-thistle pastoral rolling hills of flowing rivers
Proud and strong
She goes forward, playing the hand given her

Beauty has pain
But Beauty is strong
She is resilient

Family and friend ties
Wise, filled with beauty

She is....beauty
