Unfortunate Beauty

A penny on the floor,

One useless penny on the ground;

covered in dirt and grime.

soon be stepped on,

by any passersby who walks past something so,

unfortunately beautiful.

It’s just one cent,

out of the hundred that make a dollar;

It's one

extra

cent

that will eventually add up to the many

dollars to come,

forget the dirt;

it was always meant for something

bigger than itself.
