Ugly Valentine

The process of becoming a swan
Was not a simple one for the duckling
She could have chosen
 
The easy path of beauty
And gotten lost
In some indignity
 
Was that what beauty cost
When it only goes skin-deep
But ugly all the way to bone
 
Often drifting alone
A swan has time to meditate
On questions such as these
 
The swan floats on
The dark waters of the past
It does what it please
