Illusion
Amid a multitude of thoughts she stood
Screamed at some, gave in for few
amid barking feelings she could
Raise her voice but for just a few
seconds before her weakness uttered
words that made her heart cry out
She could see her strength shudder
and feel that all what she has sought
the aim of being invincible, has gone
the pursuit of freedom, has vanished
The long for happiness has none
of its effects on her dejected
self that gave in for nothing
self that almost had everything…
