she can face her now
after she hurt her
when she looks at
her
she no longer gets a tightening
in her chest
instead she remembers
the few good
times they had together
trauma gets
tucked
away
when she looks at her
she only sees beauty
not the messages or the insults
she sees this beautiful
and for seconds she wants
to be beautiful
what is it like to be beautiful
and not have
someone say it while
he's taking your beauty
away from you
but really be beautiful
like
she
is
in
the
pictures
