Beautiful faces full of color
beneath lie haunting stories
images shunned by the world
carefully wrapped in maquillage.

They learnt the hard way,
The world cared not for their plight
So they mastered the art of concealing.
Pain wrapped in smiles.

Beautiful people full of fire
A passion that cannot be quenched
mountains became roads before them.
The foe crumbles in their wake.
