Powerhouse

Those eyes always appear fearless,
terrified of being called ‘beautiful’;
Walls turned her into a powerhouse; 

Tired of building that powerhouse
forced to always be strong and fearless;
Neither appear to be wanted or beautiful; 

Fragile couldn’t be more beautiful;
Love knocking down a powerhouse 
no longer a need to be fearless;

Goodbye, fearless beautiful powerhouse.
