Perfection
a baby who knows no imperfection or hate
eyes that look like they have seen the heavens
a pure, whole, strong soul surrounded by love.
 
Tainted Stained
soon innocence is lost 
striped from the sweet angels eyes
weakened by the world around them. 
 
Trials
the fight of a life begins, and to each their own. 
Sadness
dull eyes that smear the greatness of oneself
and flood the heart with pain. 
Anger
That pile on the pressures, that rip that child apart,
that burn the innocence out of the soul,
that never ends. 
 
Fighting Surviving 
tear stained face, yet embers in the eyes warm the soul,
dim but not dead pull on the heartstrings on life-
strength brews resolve and begins to heal.
 
Flawless
wise eyes 
realization when every obstacle becomes worth it
born to the world rises a pure strong person surrounded by love.
