She faces the world behind a perfect lipstick coat
And adorns herself in leather and lace.
Sensible pumps and combat boots
She is fragile and delicate,
Wrapped in layer after perfect layer
Of strength and wit.
She will face the world book in hand
And with Slipknot in her ears.
Opera will fill her room but Rock is in her soul.
She wears lots of black and a splash of colour too.
Red and purple paint her lips
But earthy shades of pink will kiss them too.
A mixture of simple beauty and feral grace
She is and will always be this intriguing and enigmatic
Beauty.
