Wow

How long its been
Since darkness crowded
 Overcrowded her very being
 Since hatred filled 
Her every thought
And all hope was lost it seemed 

How long its been
Since nighttime
Hurt
Tears
Pain
Since demons held the key
To her 

How long its been
Since being a slave to impulses
And martyr  of dreams

How long has it been 
She cowering  in fear of what
The night will bring
Scared of the demons 
That haunted nighttime thoughts 

Now she stands
Staring them square in the face
Not afraid of the hurt they harbour
Though scars they left
 Stil remain
She stands awaiting their game

 They come and try blow her over
She stands
Her eyes dead set
She will conquer
She will not fall

They claw at her being
 She stands
They whisper wishes of death
She stands 
She stands 

Something she hasn't yet won
But she stands 
How long has it been old friend
She snarls
THey giggle
 Its over
