Her Own Worst Enemy
Though few would understand
She is all grown up now
But then has she really,
Or has she just forgotten
Deliberately or freely?
——
I see her inner children
When she was a little girl,
Her false smile, even then
Shyly hiding behind her curls.
——
Her eyes as big as her heart
Her love sheltered inside,
Her tears buried so deeply
Her pain something to hide.
——
She had grandeur dreams
Happiness her only goal,
Until every dream shattered
And buried in her old soul.
——
The years passed slowly
But I see her sweet teen,
She’s quieter, sadder, wiser
Knowing never to be seen.
——
She grew into her darkness
Where nothing was the same,
She took up training dragons
Learning to breathe flames.
——
Once she reach adulthood
She understood the outcasts,
As they made the best friends
Not judging her for her past.
——
They were the only ones to know
How it felt totally out of control,
They understood the heartache
Borne of a self destructive soul!
