Old has been replaced with new173Please respect copyright.PENANA4dLuwZRVx9
New has been overshadowed by old
The crowd is made up of faces173Please respect copyright.PENANAU9fmqmUdXO
That are both familiar and loved173Please respect copyright.PENANAlr6NvZIcf1
And foreign and feared
She stands in the middle of it all173Please respect copyright.PENANAniEEcSkEPm
Her smile is brilliant173Please respect copyright.PENANAufjCuD79x9
Her heart is radiant173Please respect copyright.PENANAyU9wLrpZ9M
Her tears are invisible173Please respect copyright.PENANAor3xxqiEhH
And still she dances for them
Do you see those beautiful ribbons of red173Please respect copyright.PENANAkZko9HSSFL
That pour from her fingertips and her palms and her soles?173Please respect copyright.PENANA36YzYYSA9S
Do you hear her laughter173Please respect copyright.PENANA03QJ53wO79
Filled with ecstasy and hysteria and fear and fun?173Please respect copyright.PENANAsvPjbVQUfO
Do you even notice her?
She173Please respect copyright.PENANAISLgUqnvkN
With her (barely) worn smile173Please respect copyright.PENANAzMKZctzSZo
She173Please respect copyright.PENANAME9q3jP1HB
With her (sluggishly) graceful movements173Please respect copyright.PENANATV4oMqcnS1
She173Please respect copyright.PENANAbxzNpIMBSN
With her eyes that burn like the dying stars —
Out, until they are nothing173Please respect copyright.PENANAg5k49uFB6e
But unseen masses in the midst of what they once were173Please respect copyright.PENANAMPe1xnuS2o
Galaxies that disappear like mist in the midst of day
She is quickly replaced with another173Please respect copyright.PENANAe7Actw9maA
Though they will never find another quite like her
