The seldom creature

wishes beating deafly

chained into its cold chambers

Too neglected

Spoken as an ugly creature

full of scars

of pain and torture

Battered seldom creature

silent and alone

wishing for wishes

that would not

beat out loud enough

for a beauty to hear

Wishing the ugly creature

for a sharp hearing beauty

to hear the musical beating

that gave life

to the ugly creature

Wishing for a future

Where beauty would

See past the ugly

and realize

This lonely heart

Wishes to be heard.
