Little Beauty- A Poem

Little Beauty

K.N. Lee

Little beauty

Young

With songs

Unsung

Too tired of giving

Too tired of living

Threatens to say goodbye

Without a thought 

Of those left behind

Think of their pain

What will you gain?

A cowards escape

Is your biggest mistake

While loved ones grieve

Beat your coffin with despair

Why would you leave?

It just isn't fair

Little Beauty

Life is hard

We all know its true

Trust me

We do!

The struggles

The failure

The heartbreak

And pain

Can sometimes be too much

It's a constant battle 

To stay sane

It sounds so easy

To run away

To hide

You just want to 

Find a hole to snuggle into

And cry 

Or die...

I wish I was there 

To hold your sweet face

Wipe those bitter tears

And find a smile to replace

That cry of agony 

That fills your soul like a blade

Look at me

Trust me

This pain will fade!

Each new morning 

When you open your eyes 

To the beauty of the sun

Remember that this is a gift

Your creator made you well

Don't throw away such an honor

Go on

Live!

You have stories to tell!

Given without expectations

Or a fee 

Life is free

Your life is precious 

You are loved

Little beauty

**For a little beauty I know. Stay strong. You are loved**
