She Did Not See Her Beauty
she has no concept
of her beauty
She walks around like a diamond
or a faerie princess
unassuming and unaware of our reactions
she would be startled if we told her
how gorgeous she is
She would not believe us
it is as if she is wearing a mask
hiding her truth
we watch and wonder
how did she live this long
without knowing?
who raised her
and why didn't they let her know?
