Beauty Within - Kintsukuroi Contest
She had the face of an angel
Till that dreadful day
When a drunken motorist
Nearly took her life away
Her face was mangled
By the tyres and the stone
Nothing like the beauty
That she had once become
The plastic surgeon
Had magic in his soul
Just like a jigsaw
Put together to make whole
All healed up now
Face is looking fine
Battling with her nightmares
Visual scars are a thin line
Now a better person
Understanding others plights
People see her from the inside
Not a beauty without sight
Kintsukuroi is a word for her
Face enhanced not with gold
But through a clever surgeon
She has found humility untold.
