She once knew who she was
She once had a heart
She once had a life
She always hid behind a smile
She was an enigma even unto herself
She never had peace of mind
Always searching for the key to life
Through storms and heartache and a sea of misery she flew
Till her burden got to hard to bear
Her strength at an end
No more tears to shed
Just a vast emptiness set in
Her heartbeat slowed and came to a standstill
Her world stopped in mid air
No eagle to stop her spin this time
No dream catcher to hold her safe
No lion to roar his approval or give his protection
No one but herself
No music to play her last farewell
No new dreams played in her head
She began to doubt herself
She roared her despair to the four winds
She played on madness's rim
She looked into the abyss
She bared her breast and cried out, why am I still here?
her lament carried like a whisper on the wind
There was no answer
All her carefully constructed doors crashed open
Darkness rushed in
Nowhere to turn
Her life was at an end
She lay like a stone
Then the light trickled in
She took a deep breath and shuddered
It was her choice
She chose to stand.
