Overcoming

The smile on her face hides the scars in which you left her to case The huge suitcase in which everyday she throws one out Throws out one pain at a time As she will get better in time She has god on her side He knows the torture she had to hide Hide for many many years Now they come out uncontrollably She wears make up to cover it controllably Soon the scars she sees in the mirror turns into beautiful lessons of strength gained Every day, a fighter she remained You judge, yet you dont know Her golden heart and beautiful soul has been torn apart The pieces are finally back together She can move on with her life She deserves the best in life She is better than you may see Words can be spoken yet doesnt have to be heard Silence remains, the screms are never heard Paints a positive image everyday So no one will see the pain layed deep beneath Yet the side affects remain the same Held tears inside... if she started crying she wouldnt stop Being hurt is what she learned to stop No control No ones words or opinions longer matter As she is a strong woman on her own... only her acceptance matters Shes beautiful Shes worthy Shes stronger than ever She loves harder than ever She cares more than ever She is less naive than ever She is perfectly perfect whom makes mistakes
