The Price of Beauty

My loved ones are picked off.

One by one,

two by two.

Slowly the numbers dwindle.

Am I not beautiful?

I must not be,

for all of my family is gone.

I am alone.

Left to wonder why I was not chosen.

I feel myself slowly wither away.

The sky begins to cry for my sorrow.

The wind howls for my pain.

Suddenly the sun is bright.

A little girl approaches,

grin upon her jovial face.

And in my last moment,

I finally feel beautiful too.
