Old has been replaced with new171Please respect copyright.PENANAzk4SvdFBKH
New has been overshadowed by old
The crowd is made up of faces171Please respect copyright.PENANAgd2Qzlm1Tz
That are both familiar and loved171Please respect copyright.PENANA5eNNHuaksk
And foreign and feared
She stands in the middle of it all171Please respect copyright.PENANATKJ2hrccMI
Her smile is brilliant171Please respect copyright.PENANAFtFUZ9HRll
Her heart is radiant171Please respect copyright.PENANA8aWzhU8KdQ
Her tears are invisible171Please respect copyright.PENANAfVDlmzqghS
And still she dances for them
Do you see those beautiful ribbons of red171Please respect copyright.PENANA5joGeMmdhQ
That pour from her fingertips and her palms and her soles?171Please respect copyright.PENANA7PYNPe6g09
Do you hear her laughter171Please respect copyright.PENANAmoJMO7MpiB
Filled with ecstasy and hysteria and fear and fun?171Please respect copyright.PENANAuga5IXbOcf
Do you even notice her?
She171Please respect copyright.PENANAIIHe4HwfDc
With her (barely) worn smile171Please respect copyright.PENANAzF4Pr5Ummn
She171Please respect copyright.PENANA6L50qT7NaN
With her (sluggishly) graceful movements171Please respect copyright.PENANA8qMtJ8SHqW
She171Please respect copyright.PENANAQe12N9bPHI
With her eyes that burn like the dying stars —
Out, until they are nothing171Please respect copyright.PENANArzv8GC4DBn
But unseen masses in the midst of what they once were171Please respect copyright.PENANAqXJSWfcsjR
Galaxies that disappear like mist in the midst of day
She is quickly replaced with another171Please respect copyright.PENANAEaDhqUsTLY
Though they will never find another quite like her
