She was
Beautiful
In the way her dimples
Crinkled
When she smiled
Or when her eyes
Twinkled
When she laughed
Her hair was
Wild
Her heart a
Child’s
And she viewed
The world
With pearled
Wonder
Wonder that
Thundered in her
Ears calling
Life into her
Being
Causing her to
See
Only the best in
Everything
But then she
Realized in a flash
Of light
That left her world
Dark
That not everything
Is actually as it seems
And her world
Turned to a
Blotted
Slur
That tattooed
Itself
On her heart
Blurring true
Sight
And making her think
That she was unworthy
Of light
