She Knows

Pale, pasty skin

Covers her being.

Acne is like stars

On her face in a never-ending

Constellation.

The words that come

From her chapped lips

Are lyrics to the melody of life.

Her hooked nose smells

The lilacs in the distance.

Her broken eyes see
Everything,

And her thoughts don't manipulate

Her pure observations into something

They're not.

Her ears hear the words

People use against her:

"fat, strange, Ugly."

But she ignores these

Ignorant remarks,

Because she knows

That she's Beautiful.
