Dusky Queen

I'm a dusky queen,

beauty surrounded 

my little soul...


Attention to my face

gained easily 

even from the strangers...


They stared at me 

with theirs 

shrunk eyes...



I wondered 

at their meaningless attention;

I'm just a dusky queen. 


Mirrors reflected 

me as the night sky...

with some white spots.


My face was like 

 stars glittering on night sky,

dusky face with white spots...


I thought I was ugly,

I stayed behind;

Mom told, "you're a dusky queen."


I hated everyone 

for their weird attention 

just on my marks...


My cries faded my 

mystery white spots...

I smiled back enthusiastically.


Mom told me 

"You lost your stars

That's your unique look..."


My white spots 

appears occasionally 

to remind my old self.


I don't cry anymore 

cause, just few white spots,

can't stop my growth.


I'm dusky queen

I'm always beautiful 

In the way I am.
