Yakapin

To everyone who never doubts
She is contented and overjoyed
For beauty is on her side, always
‘But isn’t there more to life than this?’
Her heart bursts to pieces as she walks

Her face is a beautiful painting
Yet her eyes speak so differently
Whenever they catch people looking
They scream so loud, but no one listens
Because she would simply smile once more
A smile she learned to show everyone

But in her mind and her life wishes
She is a sweet little girl, waiting
Waiting for her time to be complete
Delighted with the promises of
Seeing more wrinkles and silver strands
Showing the one life she chose to live
