Shedding Beauty
A girl once told me,
"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful."
All the while I couldn't understand why.
I thought to myself,
The birds sing for you
Like you are one of them.
A beautiful peacock.
However, you act like you pluck all your feathers
For the world to see.
They don't hate you,
But how can they think you're beautiful?
