With a story
and a smile
She stands
and waits awhile
Holding back
tears
Consumed by
all her fears
Some days she’s
overcome
Wondering if
she’ll ever become…
Some days it’s
so hard to fight
Unable to
always shine bright
Her heart
heavy - sinks
And sadly
she thinks
All the what
ifs
That clamor
and bite
Suffocating - she can’t breathe right…
She sits
down and writes.
