Drop Dead Gorgeous By: Alyssa Stouch

Though it looks of beauty
A diamond cuts the skin
Though the colors seem pleasing
The dart frog's poison seeps in
Though it shines of romance
A ring will soon begin to rust
Though his eyes were charming
He craved nothing more than lust
Though it radiates a golden light
The sun burns through a child's back
Though its arms provide security
A Venus fly trap devours its snack
Though it lets off a peaceful glow
The touch of a jellyfish will sting
Though she smiles of pure sanity
The voices inside her continue to sing
Though the world displays a pure innocence
Its deadliest secrets lie below the surface
For ones appearance does not define its purpose
