A Brave Soul

A soul brave in her heart

Entrenched with the sadness of her past

She loves her despair so much so

That she befriends her delusions

 

No one to speak to

No one to reach to

She is alone

And beyond repair

 

Love she is

But does she know this?

Tormented from within

She does not know where to run

 

They say “be yourself”

But no one says how

She is brave indeed

treading her path alone

 

Speak to her and

Stilted she becomes

Her person is her enemy

Her doubts are her company

 

She may have wealth to expend

But utterly poor in her world

Unlovable and unloved

Where insincerity is rejoiced

 

She wants love from others

But alas, she can’t treasure

A poor soul indeed

Devoid of love and happiness

 

But do not confuse her

With fakeness galore

She is a woman of steel

Fortitude to implore

 

She never gives up

She will fight

Where no one cares

She stands now for herself

 

Where no one listens

She listens to herself

Her heart may be tainted

But she is pure

 

She will rise

Like a phoenix in the sky

A brave soul indeed

For she leaps at life
