Failure

She mastered her words
She mastered her ways
She tries to be perfect--
but all goes to waste

Obedience is her virtue
All laws she abide
She walks with patience--
balancing humility and pride

But people judge her,
like they knew her since
That she's always helpless--
beneath her fearless skin

She then believes them
Her confidence drop
Now living in solace--
She wants her heartbeat stop

Aqua Marine Date: 9/30/2017 3:24:00 AM I appreciate the third stanza- yes, even in strength there is vulnerability...but, as the saying goes, some " go for the jugular..." not understanding that an " imperfect " human being who " bares their throat, or belly" understands the dominating need to " put a lesser being in their place..." Seeking solace, is a survival mechanism...I found your words very strengthening....Thank you - they are thoughtful...:-) Login to Reply Wintessa De Guzman Date: 9/30/2017 3:31:00 AM Thank you...
