She breathed in, floral scented air,
Walked in silence, never shared;
Born of beauty, elegance, grace,
Branded by flaws, upon her face.
Chastised, by all the wrong doers,
She, simply, could not maneuver;
Around the evil words they spilled,
Heartache pierced her, left her chilled.
Whispered voices, in the night,
Horrid rumors, became her plight;
Hidden behind doors, she grew old, alone,
Cast away, twas the first pebble, thrown.
Which grew to a boulder, to her dismay,
Beauty, no longer in this place, could stay;
She’d steal away, under the midnight sun,
Be gone, before morning broke, begun.
Never again, allowing them to misconstrue,
She left no trace, of the life she once knew.
