Living Her Life

She sees the pains, Which her native folk have gained. She changed from a little girl To someone who has always had the potential To change her own little personal inner world. As a child she never went through What some other children of her people Had went through themselves. She used to never knew how the roots Of all her people’s issues Were and are so controversial. Blessed was she, as a very young child, For not knowing fully all the reasons why. Blessed that she is and will always be Full of feeling, and always quietly wondering “Why?”, Now she is filled with new knowledge and a developing sense of wisdom Within her own individual mind. She is now what she had always Envisioned and imagined before, since her elementary days. She is (“I am...”) not entirely that same little girl anymore. She is now one of the many of that particular kind. Within her imagination is a longed Wanting of finally revealing The truths she has discovered and How her people must change for the better. Throughout her whole life, which she’s lived through so far, She maintains a heart filled with feelings, A mind filled with knowledge And a slight emotional immaturity as representation That her inner child self is still alive on the inside. Her inner and past child self (who was different from all the rest, But was also similar to them when at their best). Never truly knew how far she’d come in life. (As of right now and forever into the future) How she has grown and maintained herself Is how she had made that (her) inner voice in her head and Had also long ago already acknowledged her true self. She still stands in her own believing faith and faith in herself And her lack of prejudice is what makes her naive thinking Make her own days in her life far brighter than what others say As they discourage her from doing Or trying to pursue something grand and part of a divine plan. Even after times and tribulations involving doubting tremble. Blessed she is for being so whole in her own presumed thoughts, Blessed she is for logical thinking based on emotion and feelings. Blessed she will always be, for Christ himself said to a woman (who was suffering from something for more than twelve years), “Your faith is what made you whole.” Now she thinks... “Grateful and blessed I am, to the point of tears of joy and sorrow of how I used to doubt. I now forever know what my life will be like beyond tomorrow.”
