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
