she sat underneath the overshadowing tree
bashfully hidden from the world, what she did best
she was prolific with words that overflowed
her book
each meaning more than what it read
she was inspired by her past
she was inspired by her future
her future of defection--
molding her unique being
craving for satisfaction
she learned would not be discovered within
the limits of the world
family built her fragile bones
friends were the muscles surrounding them
influencing her agile nature
stability breathed into her
many came, few remained
yet only one thing real in her life
one thing that had true definition
no matter what HE was there to stay
whether or not she left him, she’d always make her way
back into his asylum
continuously mistaking worldly comforts
for what can only be temporary thrills
she was blessed and quickly learned
false love could not last
an understanding grew like branches
she inherited an abundant life
feeling like she struggled as no other
resulted in her gaining the strength of ten men
she represented beauty, faith,
independence, intellect
A child of her mother
from tears to laughter
pain to bliss
insecurities to confidence
silence to a voice
girl to WOMAN
she found her in him
she found life collected till her end
