A Freestyle Piece: Supernova - 10/13/11

"She was a supernova...burning brightly until she burned herself out; known to blame men, although she turned herself out. Never content with possessions, she wanted different things. An angel unappreciative of her talents, she wanted different wings. Beauty was her blessing, but it became a curse; neglecting her mind, she depended on her looks first. As time elapsed, perhaps the mishaps should have nudged her in the right direction. But, when you're rationalizing right to avoid the truth of being wrong, you won't want correction. And so goes the story of the glory of the night: shrouded by darkness, so lauded for being bright. No one ever inquires about how these fires burn...but there's a clear difference between one that spreads and one that yearns. The former uses what it takes; the latter takes what it uses. The supernova was an artist, with makeup as paint and her flaws as muses..."
