She closes her eyes dreaming
of being a stunning beauty
on a wooden stage with
everyone watching her in awe
as her powder blue dress
glistens under the spot light
in recognition she's sought for
years, but until today she
never obtained and when she
opens her almond eyes again
reality hurts a little less
than it did before because
through everything she's battled in
this media crazed world before
our blinded eyes of beauty
she's kept one cherished thing
when most have managed to
lose it along their way
until she turns this dream
into her long awaited future.
