Dreams of Fighting Back
Raw emotion seeped from her eyes
Tears landed in pools on the floor
She sobbed out her feelings for hours and hours
Until she could cry no more
Then suddenly, her grief became anger
A bitter frost settled over her heart
No longer would she be the victim
No longer would she play that part
Instead she rebelled, spoke out against those
Who bring themselves up when others are down
She stopped them from this evil practice
Improved town after town
Victorious in her valiant quest
She celebrated with all
All, that is, who were victorious too
No longer trampled on in the hall
Then she opened her eyes to the real world
With moisture on her pillow from tears
She knew that she would continue to cry
Not strike back for many years
Raw emotion still seeps from her eyes
Tears landing in pools on the floor
She will sob out her feelings for hours and hours
Until one day she will cry no more.
