She Knew No Fear

She took a deep breath
And walked out the door,
"This is it," She said,
"I can't take it any more."

She made a new path, 
Through the snow,
She couldn't help it,
She had to go.

She knew their
Hearts would break,
she knew their
Lives would shake.

She knew their wounds
Would never mend,
But she knew this
Had to be the end.

She couldn't help but 
Shed a tear,
But all this time,
She knew no fear.
