She Perseveres
Pouring out her soul, she confronts life's lies;
flinching from the pain fate has inflicted.
There was no way she could have predicted
that betrayal would materialize.
And she sought a way to rationalize,
feeling devastated and conflicted.
Emotional wounds via physical pain;
and untreated, fear festers into hate.
Excluding love, nothing can compensate
her for forever dreams, she dreamed in vain.
And swirling doubts soon spawn a hurricane;
as she watches hope deteriorate.
She has nothing left but corrosive tears,
and yet, despite her fears, she perseveres.
