unbreaking

She'd been making choices all this time 

with little options available.

The who's and the why's are irrelevant

but it was a long and up hill battle.

Those who knew her, often said, 

They didn't care what was in her head

but to strangers near and far

She parted oceans and walked with charm.

Under valued is how she felt.

Drained of anything, not even wealth.

Always told what to do

Like no one trusted what she knew.

Her thoughts were scrambled, it took her time

She medicated others with her wine

It took time, for her to understand, they couldn't see

The grander plan. The long term tortoise plodding along.

She felt she knew an awful lot

put in her place with 'that's not enough'

She's doesn't try, she just glides through

Oh how I wish they really knew...

Everyday a fighting battle so much to overcome

How did she look up in those times

When her soul was feeling totally bummed!

She fought like a warrior, one of light.

Then one day it broke her back

That's when she decided she could never look back.

The world is different from when she started

Sense others don't quiet see that change.

She felt deep down from inside

a growing anger of distinctive pride

"NO I WON"T DO THAT. NOR THIS PLEASE!"

She's decided she wants to be free

Now she's walking tall and brave

proud and graceful with some wisdom from age

It makes her smile, how calm she feels

The gifted treasures she is yet to yield.
