Old has been replaced with new174Please respect copyright.PENANAm3pD1CqBEm
New has been overshadowed by old
The crowd is made up of faces174Please respect copyright.PENANA6mytJttLoT
That are both familiar and loved174Please respect copyright.PENANAPOhd6Uiz53
And foreign and feared
She stands in the middle of it all174Please respect copyright.PENANAgOvtapz1YP
Her smile is brilliant174Please respect copyright.PENANATDlEofZLNM
Her heart is radiant174Please respect copyright.PENANAZRekW3UgSm
Her tears are invisible174Please respect copyright.PENANAfsUQidJCK2
And still she dances for them
Do you see those beautiful ribbons of red174Please respect copyright.PENANAa3Q2Cw2p88
That pour from her fingertips and her palms and her soles?174Please respect copyright.PENANA5lpXJoVZI8
Do you hear her laughter174Please respect copyright.PENANArbkKZawE4u
Filled with ecstasy and hysteria and fear and fun?174Please respect copyright.PENANANdsmqsWVfQ
Do you even notice her?
She174Please respect copyright.PENANA4hQwFj7D1U
With her (barely) worn smile174Please respect copyright.PENANAhOuP2jpmiq
She174Please respect copyright.PENANAjR1sF0Nxbz
With her (sluggishly) graceful movements174Please respect copyright.PENANAnLE58OZYpd
She174Please respect copyright.PENANAC6enlRCVGa
With her eyes that burn like the dying stars —
Out, until they are nothing174Please respect copyright.PENANA4db1y2XKLt
But unseen masses in the midst of what they once were174Please respect copyright.PENANA9DinupmH7R
Galaxies that disappear like mist in the midst of day
She is quickly replaced with another174Please respect copyright.PENANAHblTXPww5L
Though they will never find another quite like her
