She’s a doll
she’s a beauty
not one to be wooed
by five pounds of make-up
and false thoughts construed

by

the meek,
nor
the fearful,
she sees past those false faces
she’s felt the sting of suffering
and won’t revisit those places.

She admonishes the posers
who act sly
and
talk cheap;
approach her with honesty
if you wish her to speak.

Yes:

she does impart wisdom
but she won’t hide her spark
she’s a beauty
she’s a star
and she protects
her heart.
