Old has been replaced with new167Please respect copyright.PENANAlJRJvK2iFg
New has been overshadowed by old
The crowd is made up of faces167Please respect copyright.PENANAEq59mgDBBG
That are both familiar and loved167Please respect copyright.PENANA2xBxZLvkF8
And foreign and feared
She stands in the middle of it all167Please respect copyright.PENANA9HmGEFqnbI
Her smile is brilliant167Please respect copyright.PENANAxitJHQcCQt
Her heart is radiant167Please respect copyright.PENANANN8XKvhMPo
Her tears are invisible167Please respect copyright.PENANA5jMDUnwguf
And still she dances for them
Do you see those beautiful ribbons of red167Please respect copyright.PENANAlvNa9misy9
That pour from her fingertips and her palms and her soles?167Please respect copyright.PENANA7e2Mvw0g2B
Do you hear her laughter167Please respect copyright.PENANAx1rhsJn4s3
Filled with ecstasy and hysteria and fear and fun?167Please respect copyright.PENANAjh9PevaPLE
Do you even notice her?
She167Please respect copyright.PENANANEtBhV2rPe
With her (barely) worn smile167Please respect copyright.PENANAi3FbtD7HVw
She167Please respect copyright.PENANAA8BkFocYy2
With her (sluggishly) graceful movements167Please respect copyright.PENANAkj06EZ0171
She167Please respect copyright.PENANALiIXi3x57q
With her eyes that burn like the dying stars —
Out, until they are nothing167Please respect copyright.PENANAJU7rTY8ZUs
But unseen masses in the midst of what they once were167Please respect copyright.PENANAnfDlvkHY2p
Galaxies that disappear like mist in the midst of day
She is quickly replaced with another167Please respect copyright.PENANAE03Xz0BVcY
Though they will never find another quite like her
