The Beautiful Soul
The Beautiful Soul 
 Once upon a time there lived a girl pure in heart and mind 
 She was a beautiful floating soul in a sky of darkness
 She was a beautiful girl but what made her beautiful 
 Was her impeccable, unwavering, stubborn at times, but determined character. 
 She lived in a world that was her own
  That no one could crush.
  She was her own unique person 
 A beautiful soul! 
 But even beautiful souls can turn ugly
  When ugly things strike it with their hardest temptations and desires 
 That can turn even the sweetest of things bitter.
  Like a decaying flower her beautiful soul began to wear away 
 Until her beautifulness was gone and ugliness now filled her empty soul.
  She saw what she had turned into
  No one to blame!, no one to help! 
 She had become her own worst fear! 
 When she saw how ugly her soul had become 
 She tried her best to hide and disguise her worst fear and trap it deep within her soul. 
 Life was flashing before her eyes like a silent film, 
 Her screaming for help but no one to hear. 
 Full of hurt and dying for love 
 She turned to whatever could show her that someone cared
  That someone could see under her disguise  into  her ugly soul and show the beautifulness it once had
  She had turned into her worst fear and it was taking over her life,
  Mind and her once unwavering character.
  Inch by inch destroying everything in its path.
  She used special drugs
  To help sustain and push away and forget her ugly ,dying love thirsty heart. 
 But it didn’t help day by day she was forgotten like an old book
 Her story in the pages once so beautiful 
 But now just an old dusty book left on the shelf.
  How had she let this happen?
  It was all over now! 
 No turning back, no regret or guilt to feel. 
 Just as she had been filled with beautifulness, ugliness now filled that empty space
 Her world turned upside down, and her once beautiful soul shattered
 Just like a decaying flower it soon dies.
  She took her last breath and this beautiful girl who was once a beautiful soul 
 Floated up and joined the dark sky.
