The Change
Stand Back!
she said and the
fire flew from her mouth.
The transformation was complete.
It was barely noticeable
when at first began,
although she knew
in her very essence
that something was new.
Helpless to resist,
she let the changes
wash over her.
Her blood boiled
He skin crackled
Her hair singed
She no longer recognized
her own face in the mirror.
Those around her
did not seem to notice.
They continued to see her
beautifully smooth skin
and her long, thick hair.
Indistinguishable to her ears,
her voice was as mellifluous
as ever to others.
When the flames
exploded from her,
the amazement rendered
them speechless.
At that moment,
her true self was revealed.
Ashamed and relieved,
she finally embraced
her new existence.
