She was breathtakingly beautiful
A shining face in a sea of gray
Hypnotic eyes full of light
No one could ever look away
But the beauty never reached her heart
For she was gloomy and dull inside
Pretty as she was, she was never charming
She couldn’t change, as much as she tried
The other girl had never been as beautiful
Even though she had a heart of gold
She was as charming as one could ever be
But that didn’t matter, she was told
She couldn’t help but envy the other girl
Always feeling inferior in her wake
For no one ever saw past her face
And it was more than she could take
So off she went to the creators of beauty
Those who worshipped flesh and blood
They erased her face, then drew it back on
Fashioned for her a new body out of mud
She was unrecognizable, with unearthly splendor
A new confidence bursting inside of her
But the change had affected more than her skin
And her charm was now just a blur
She became just as gloomy and dull
Just a pretty face devoid of spirit
Her beauty now had a cruel streak
Demeaning everyone wherever it hit
Still no one looked past her face
Even if they did stop to admire
They had erased more than her face
Ripped out her heart and tossed it in fire
