Beautiful Still

Depression, Sadness, & despair

Loneliness & Strife

Insanity & Distain 

Starvation & Neglect 

are everything a girl of 8,

felt as of late.

when she was left alone to her tears

not a soul would listen to her fears

not a one..

grateful she would be if people

heard her screams.

In her heart, she cried to one, she cried to all

as the tears began to fall

hope had become a stranger

a lone ranger.

In her time of solace 

she wondered about the world 

like me and you

she saw many a thing

Violence & horrible things

and yet she thought that\'d in all she had seen,

where she\'d had been 

\'i am beautiful still\'

\'to the world that\'s far above me,

the one as wide as the sea, young & fragile i am,

broken & battered like a lost 

lamb.

Crushed by the weight of unimaginable expectation

all wrapped in tattered lace is me with a bruised face.

i admire you still \'fore you are beautiful still\'.
