Through the Years of Pain

“Sing in me muse, and through me tell the story” Tell me the story of a young girl, A girl who doesn’t understand her worth Who basks in depression But exercises to release pain Every muscle she has gained is a result of everytime she has been wronged Everytime something goes wrong she throws herself into something new She threw herself into her passion, Her sport Her skating Every glide represents the pain she’s faced Every spin represents the strength she wishes to have She isn’t like most however, She went for something which to her felt like shooting for the stars She went for something most people would consider crazy A perfect skating season And when many left her when she tried for something society considered crazy She stopped dead in her tracks And looked behind her She looked at the world differently from that day For she realized one thing Her sanity would never come back And she was stuck with the broken remains of people who were with her in the past Oh the past Something she would dwell on for the rest of her life With how much physical strength she has you think she would also be emotionally strong However as she takes one long look behind her she breaks like a crumbling statue She sits there sobbing as the winds change Realizes the dark side of solitude She experiences grief Her aunt moves away, friendships changed And it was a hard period in her life For she had been betrayed by who she thought she could trust For it felt like the world was spinning out of control Her mind racing, her heart thumping She tried to pick herself up again but her legs felt heavy So what more could she do but just sit there and sob The pain enfolded her like a blanket of cacti In sorrow she heaved herself upright and ran. Ran till her legs could give out Everything inside her told her to stop but she ran For she wanted the physical pain to match the emotional pain And the emotional pain would soon break the balance She rushed home for she realized her mistake, She stood there staring, for a good reason too Her house had been burnt down so she was bluer than blue. She rushed inside with confusion And came out with anger One thing was for sure She was bound to seek revenge.
