Doing what she must
as ways to survive.
Smacking her own face
just to feel alive.
Numbed to all the pain,
seasoned to betrayal.
Holding her weak heart,
knowing she will fail.
Crying without tears,
she screams, no one hears,
cover her own ears,
to shelter her fears.
Falling to the ground,
with no one around,
Finds strength to stand proud,
fixes her tilted crown.
Exhales all the hell,
she had to endure,
then takes a full breath
to feel reassured.
Stands on her two feet,
her head in the air,
as her inner force,
tempts her to now dare.
Knowing deep inside
her aim can build towers.
Cradles brighter views,
embracing her power.
