Not Ugly | A 100 Word Story

#353 National Poetry Month – 30 Days 30 Poems

The scars upon her face reveal,
A side of her that cannot feel.
It’s where she hides away from the world
Just a lonely girl, alone
Trying not to come unfurled.

She sits at the piano and plays
The notes that speak what she can’t say
A piece she learned long time ago
When she was loved for what’s inside
And her scars began to show

She remembers how she looked before
A beauty to everyone and more
Her smile could brighten any room
But inside she couldn’t escape
The scars she always saw on her face

Was she real?
