Title: Masterpiece

Have you seen her standing in the distance?

The beautiful girl, who stops you in your tracks with her existence?

She looks shy and nervous but inside she is rowdy and calm.

She looks dark and mysterious but inside she is ticking like a time bomb.

She keeps the world on their toes.

She is drowning but no-one even knows.

She laughs and smiles so her world keeps going round.

But for your empty cold heart she’s just a rebound.

She’s been hurt before.

You can tell but you ignore.

She is intriguing, she is tempting, she is everything you want and more.

She tries to see the best in the world.

She has no idea she’s about to be hurled.

You befriend her because you want to gain her trust.

But did you forget to tell her your intentions would disgust?

She laughs and giggles and touches your arm.

She wishes in her mind that would have set off an alarm.

You push, you shove, you hit, you bruise.

You think of yourself as an artist like she is your muse.

You finish your task and you get up an leave.

She lays there to cry and grieve.

Days pass by and she starts to heal.

Her strength you managed to steal.

She musters up the courage to look in the mirror.

What she’s sees in her reflection could not be clearer.

She does not see a victim.

For even she is surprised by her dictum.

She sees a survivor.

A beautiful, strong, growing tiger.

Her scars and bruises set her apart.

She is a living, breathing, work or art.

The definition of perfection.

In her heart she begins to feel affection.

Like a chandelier as a centerpiece.

She knows, she is a masterpiece.
