I once knew a girl,
Without a smile;
Not even a- grin;
Face- blank.
I once knew a girl,
With shoulders slopped;
Footsteps drawled;
Words, unheard.
I once knew a girl,
Whose hearts been frayed;
With eyes that showed-
Depth of pain.
I once knew a girl,
Betrayed by most;
Left to fend;
Gone astray.
I once knew a girl,
Who proved to me-
Snakes indeed do,
Change their skin.
Now I know a girl,
Whose smile depicts-
A battle won;
Tables turned.
I know a girl,
Whose come out of-
The other side,
Diamond in a rough.
I do know a girl,
Who says to me-
“I found peace,
And I found me”
So true and very powerful:)

This is beautiful and I agree with the commenter that said it was a story of transformation. Actually, I think it is the story of the beautiful butterfly that is your header. You indeed are as beautiful as a butterfly and have surely ‘tranformed’ into one. ((Hugs!!)) xoxo
