V

She wanted to soar high, 
But unfortunately got grabbed by evils' hands.
She fluttered her wings so hard to break out, 
but failed.
For numerous months,
they ruthlessly kept on 
unfeathering her and destroying her V.

They annihilated her all dreams and desires,
and lastly threw her in the lost world.
With the pain of the large balloon stomach;
She sobbed alone all night under the street-light.

She lost her mind;
As the dolor pushed her in black hole.

Then, 
limping 
and weeping,
she went to sea shore, 
laid herself and kept waiting
for the mighty waves to take her 
away from this black world forever.
