Raggedy Ann
I heard the story of a woman who reached her prime in half the time.
Her beauty rivaled all others, intelligence matched the strongest academic minds.
During her social reign she was given 3 diamonds, yet traded them for rocks.
That was when her world rapidly crumbled apart.
Those that once admired her, pity her instead.
And the star she often looked upon lovely is now waiting for her body to finally give out.
To this day, I have yet to hear of a story more tragic as the one I call Raggedy Ann.
