BEAUTIFUL

--

They told her she was beautiful,

yet she did not believe it.

Home was torture,

Daddy was never around

and when he was,

she tried to escape from that horrific sound.

School was a nightmare,

getting tormented everywhere she went --

it just wasn't fair.

Love got her through,

and he made things better.

He kissed the cuts that were new;

"You're beautiful," he said.

And for a moment,

she actually believed it.
