Favorite Quote:
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" -Ralph Waldo Emerson-


Had she known this would have happened
She would have never done it
Well, thats what they all say

Some look at her with pity
Some believe she was just unlucky
Some even think she deserved it

Maybe she did not even know
what her fault was
until she was told of her punishment

When the thorns of reality popped her bubble
she prayed and pleaded
but their cold cold eyes turned away

It broke her heart
to see her loved ones cry
and she was deeply scarred

You must move on
Once the time comes this too shall pass
Well, thats what they all say

Even if it is forgotten
She will still remember
for she must face her own Scarlet Letter

The "Scarlet Letter" written by Nathaniel Hawthorne along with my mixed emotions inspired me to write this piece.
