Like a pearl hidden within a shell
She keeps her walls unshattered
Learned from the pain that made her
She no longer allow danger to peak in
But some days, she dreams of that moment
When someone finally discovers her worth
And will do everything to get her
Out of that suffocating hell
Carefully, with heart still in doubt
She let others see her shine
Adorn by the eyes that see beauty
Treasured by those that enjoy her company
Time is fleeting, so is one's feelings
But if happiness is bought,
She's willing to trade it here
The chance life has given her
To be an accessory to someone dear
