Kaitlyn's head is bright red

but it's nothing at all to dread.

Her nose has the hole, not necessarily her soul

but 

Kaitlyn's smile hides a trial,

which has lasted more than  a while

and her parrotish, colorful countenance speaks for itself.

"shhh" it says, "just look at me

look at me, I'm making it

fine

my head held high,

my pain, sublime."

Says her colorful countenance to me.
