Everything That Glitter Ain'T Gold

She's beatuiful smart and peite but her insides is one that many can't see.
Her hair shines at night and her face glows when tears fill her eyes.
What seem so perfect is not what many may want to seek.
Silly mens only go after what their eyes let them see.
Behind her beauty stands alot of pain.
Aids and this young lady not knowing her father's name.
Everything that glitters ain't gold many say but sometimes a person apperance can 
take that saying away.
She prawl for innocent victims and attack seeking for revenge.
Only this young lady knows her pain from within.
As years pass her face begins to change as her self esteem lowers each day.
As she lay in her death bed she take her last look at the sky.
She notice a rainbow that shine so bright then the rainbow began to lose its shine.
As she fight to stay free the young lady that once glitter and was so beautiful began 
to leave, as she ask herself was this what God wanted her fate to be.
