Pain
The taunts and catcalls slung at her
went seemingly unheard
her heart was breaking deep inside
with every nasty word
Her face showed nothing she was sure
her posture unaffected
her pain she kept deep down inside
and would not be detected
she strode along without a care
or so it would appear
but every step was gained by strength
from agony and fear
she knew that this would go away
in some time down the road
but in the meantime she must bear
this cruel and heavy load
when pain is gone and she is free
her trials in the past
she murmurs to herself one time
"Thank God, I*m free at last!"
