In Sync

She had everything taken away from her
Then they stripped her of her pride
She lost her friends when most in need
No one stood by her side
Her haven was to sit by the beach
They had left her that mistakenly
Not knowing she would recharge
So they had failed unknowingly
Not succeeding in totally breaking her spirit
‘Cause she would mend and regenerate
In sync with the healing heartbeat of the sea
She would be back ready to retaliate
To take a stand with more resolve
It was her mission and her fate

You wrote my biography, except I sit by my computer. I will print it and show it to my family, and hang it on my fridge.

I read this and thought, " I have to tell her there's a contest this would fit perfectly with!!!" and then I got to the end and saw that you knew that already :) Best of luck in the contest

Had to FAV this right away! It hit very 'close to home' for me... Brilliantly penned, especially LOVE the lines, "‘Cause she would mend and regenerate/ In sync with the healing heartbeat of the sea", gorgeous and so fitting! ;)
