Her laughing eyes shone bright <br />Tears falling to the ground <br />The world saw her smile <br />Her soul saw her pain <br /> <br />She carried herself with dignity <br />Though in her heart she fell <br />Her radiance shone through the night <br />She had cried a thousand times before <br /> <br />Her essence drained of goodness <br />In the darkest corner of her mind she sat <br />Singing songs of lulubys <br />Comforting herself through life <br /> <br />Darkness waited round every corner <br />She babies herself with hope and lies <br />A life worth living lies beyond, <br />Beyond her clouded eyes<br /><br />Katherine H.
