Real

 She wasn’t the prettiest
She wasn’t the smartest
She wasn’t the kindest
She wasn’t the sweetest either
Or the brightest
She wasn’t chaos
She wasn’t a storm
She wasn’t art
She had no form
She didn’t sparkle
She didn’t shine
She wasn’t intoxicating
She wasn’t a glass of wine
She existed in harmony
Amongst humans
As she was one too
Real as me and you
Full of flaws

On a good day she smiled
On bad day she cried
She loved to full capacity
She was selfish when times
Called for selfishness
And when her demons came calling
She fought with tenacity
She was a girl full of life
Who didn’t let the world
Drown her in the sea of
Perpetual self-hate
Promoted endlessly
Through every channel
And every outlet
Hate begetting hate

Everything was all right
Until the day she was hit
With a poisonous arrow
Like a snake would’ve bit
What was it that brought her down
Turned that once beautiful smile
Into an eternal frown
Your guess is as good
As mine
Who’s the true culprit
Come on together
Let’s find out.

Hope you enjoy the new series – ‘Story of She’. I have no planned parts for this series. It’ll go on (sometimes not) just as life does!  

Love Always,
