But She Was Scared

Just some observations.

 

Born with a divine beauty
She was scared
And tore it down 
Like a flower from the wall
And crushed the petals
Between her fingers
Determined to destroy what she had
Attempting to build up what she didn't
What heavy irony layed on her shoulders
Making every passing day 
More and more difficult
As she found more and more reasons 
Not to be

'Born with a divine beauty
She was scared
And tore it down'

That is such a strong opening for a poem. Loved it in all its self-destructive glory. NH
