Young and ambitious she took to the world
knowing not who she was
allowed the world to define her
in a whirlwind she went
being tossed to and fro
by every wind
by every song
by every idol
there they went
her pearls
she watched them roll away
thinking that they weren’t her own
laughing even at the poor soul that had lost their pearl
how stupid she said
knowing not that stupid was her
and she was it
it took a dark night to gain sober judgement
she felt her neck
it was bare
those pearls were hers
and they had rolled away
with a string of dignity
she scurried away and tried to find her pearls
she picked every pearl she could find
some were hers
others were not
some weren’t even pearls
all that was real she took
her string of dignity no longer barren
she found something
through pain
through heartache
through courage
she found
wisdom
