Her beauty has withered away
Her skin has shed and revealed a wisdom
That otherwise could not be seen
The years have stolen everything she fought to keep
Time has gone by like her many loves
And only now is she able to love herself
The way she did so many others

Thanks to the cherries, I decided this poem was good enough to submit in a competition. The competition forwarded it to a publication program for students and this poem is being featured in a book of poems by other students. Thank you for giving me the courage to do it(:
