Ohh Heartbreaking - Hlm

challenges in life
                   positivity wins race
                   music fulfills soul

           
           Holly bragged to be awesome singer
           fans believed she should be the winner
           until joined acclaimed contest,
           she tried to perform her best
           heartbroken~ trophy eluded her.


  playing harp with soft delicate fingers Holly's music came alive
