A Soul Repaired--- by Ashley Brown
Lost to the world,
All that I am.
Slowly I venture on my quest,
Finding the girl,
No longer so innocent,
Despite my best efforts.
I tried to hard to protect her,
Sheltering her from the world.
I lost her, and Hell ensued.
And in that Hell she broke.
A million peices, all lying there,
Forgotten?
No, just lost.
And now as I have found her,
I face a difficult task.
I peice her back together...
The million broken peices.
Is it possible?
Perhaps.
But one thing is for sure,
If it is to be done,
Only I can do it.
For so long I've cheated
Relying on my friends.
I have to...
I have to go alone now.
I face some hard descisions...
And I don't want to harm them...
So I'll shed my tears,
And go back to that little girl....
And slowly repair her fragile life.
And then?
She'll step into the sun...
And when she does,
I know she'll be beautiful,
And strong.
And me?
Perhaps she'll do as I did,
Shove me into the background.
Or maybe...
Maybe I'll still be here.
But either way,
I'll be happy.
I've learned my lesson.
I can't protect this girl...
She's going to be strong,
She's going to be beautiful,
And she's going to shock the Hell out of the world.
