Short Story Picture Book - Daring

Soft rose petal cheeks
Desire to be daring
Linger behind
Brimming but not being seen
Steel grey eyes and stern gaze
That blazes in the light
Ready to be noticed, to be adored
She plays the game
Settles powder upon her skin
Dulls her down
She hums a stagnant sound
Soft petal breath
Whistles past her lips as
Her ribcage rages out
In her dance, her closed eyes…
Song plays out in hеr mind
A song letting the daring free
A shaking dance
Keeps hеr from the fall
Dazzling she moves making waves
And the soft dance is
Heavy grey
She hums the sound
With rose petal breath
And it whistles…
Giving off an air of being daring
Throw her arms up
Soft melodic sway
