Poetry

Does it hurt to be beautiful? 
I would guess that you would know. 
Jaws drop as you enter the room, 
people wish they could be you. 

Does it hurt to be amazing? 
People faint to your smile. 
They wish to be noticed by you, 
they wish to be with you. 

Does it hurt to be you?
No? It will very soon. 
Your skin will crinkle and fade 
Your teeth will rot and crack 
Your hair will gray and die 
And everyone around you will forget your name. 

It might not hurt now. 
But, don't worry darling. 
It will soon.
