Poem Title:
Poem
Her voyage began a few decades ago Day for day life took her slowly down the rabbit hole of despair Hitting most rocky edges on her way down How far she'd go was unclear, because it took many moons to finally realise that she was falling She took every sharp pain, every failure, every heartbreak in her stride She continued life's dark journey by herself Strong enough through continuous turmoil Until one day she didnt see it as failures anymore, but as challenges Love lost, she took as a guide how to not have her heart broken Every person trusted as a lesson not to trust so easily Every failed opportunity as a mission to never repeat Every bruise life handed out as what to avoid in future She appeared weightless Always smiling, her head held high Building and supporting others Only those that dared to look into her eyes, knew of the heavy burden she was carrying Her stride never slowed Her smile never faded Her spirit always rose above her circumstances Slowly she was crawling up the rabbit hole Unbeknownst to anyone, she continuously strived upwards Slowly she progressed without a helping hand, as no one noticed her despair A festering wound forcing her to seek escape Her strong will her driving force to overcome all obsticles Until she finally reached and embraced freedom Rays of sunlight dancing in her hair Her head turned towards the heat of the sun Her eyes closed, while tears streamed down her cheeks and her lips forming a smile She passed her own personal challenge All weight disappeared from her shoulders, as she laid it down in the past Her hands lifted in praise as she was finally free She could never be the same ever again, she wasn't her anymore
