Ode to the Orange Girl

by Trisha De Gracia

She is beautiful.

I doubt that there's another way to put that.
oh Wait, there is.

She is crude
she is delicate
she is humble
outspoken
overt
pathetic
Brilliant.

She is corrupt in many ways
and she is perfect
because she is she
and there's nothing less to her than what she's made herself.

She is afraid
trembling with it
terrible
fearsome
She is a raging force you can't cope with
when it's turned against you.

She's an intricate web
She is deadly
flamboyant and unsure.

The girl is beautiful.
And She's the only one who really forgets.

Funny how she's one big contradiction, hey? I don't quite understand some of the parts. And maybe you capatalized some wrong pro-nouns?
