She was a beautiful girl Veritably an angel walking on earth With a heart golder than any star, sun or smile ever known She was a pretty girl The most beautiful you could ever see It's so sad she never the danger That her tender nature could bring Laughing at school, You could never know her troubles What lay behind her eyes When she wished upon a dying star What did she want? She told me one night Rueful, shy and compassionate Like the angel she was "I want to be normal, And yes, lose this beauty, For you can never imagine What I go through When people try to catch me." I understood clearly, but no one else believed She was everyone's friend She had a heart of gold How could someone so beautiful, Not even want to be? She returns home, shy and sad The others don't support what they believe foolish Who would dare touch an angel So tender and pure? Taking off her coat, Pulling her hair free She's crying now Because of all the bruises none she could feel The people all hunt her Yes, they hunt this shy little angel For her beauty was like a magnet And it was dragging her down So everynight, she runs from the shadows Because of the danger of her looks Sobbing at home because no one would believe That, though she was an angel She was dangerous "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

Very intriguing. I liked this one a lot! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Shy and beautiful, potentially a bad combination. When you are being yourself, people might think you are stuckup. So much expected of you, because of your beauty, yet you may be afraid to go after what you want. But in the end, shyness is sensitivity, which can a good poet make. |
