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
