Beautiful

Confident

Bubbly

Happy

Ego intact.

Name calling

Insulting

Mocking laughter

Ego crushed

Tears flow

Hand grip the basin

Choked sobs escape a clenched throat

Then, a small piece of colored paper

Catches the eye

"Hello Beautiful" it reads

"How are you today?

"Thanks for being so beautiful."

Sobs flow more freely, but this time in joy.

In happiness.

In gratefulness.

A smile breaks through the clouds

Ego reinstated
