Mari
She's been lied to, and abused,
Sold out, and sexually used,
hurt and in too much pain,
her heads held up just the same,
She smiles and laughs,
inside she wants to crash,
Her emotional balance astray,
But her heads held up just the same,
Her bodies broken,
Her mind giving in,
Optimism, beauty; live eat pray,
Her heads held up just the same,
I'm seeing a change,
She's breaking her cage,
She's smiling the usual way,
And her heads held up the same,
She's been hurt one too many times,
Deciding people need to pay for they're crimes,
She couldn't hope for better days,
Because her heads held up the right way.
