Exterior Shell

Sometimes we forget who we are, because we live as someone else.

A pearl,

Covered with layer of gold.

So no one really knew her,

No one could ever really know.

 

They loved her for her value,

The lovely lustrous gold.

But not a single one knew,

What she really withhold.

 

So on with her life she went,

Living as gold.

With not a friend who knew pearl,

Not a single soul.

 

Soon pearl was lost,

Not sure who she really was.

Began living as gold,

Unsure what the future foretold.

Author's Note

I can't say this was inspired by Storm's piece, 'Cloud 24', but this poem can be related to it a tiny bit. Not the exact same turmoil the protagonist faces, but in more of a broader aspect.

Well I must say I never had anyone dedicate a poem to me or my character's in a novel of mine! But I must say, thank you for this! This was really nice of you and I did enjoy it. I must say it relates to the protagonist much more then you think! Both Anabelle and Storm(y) face this issue! Thank you my friend!
