Broken Free

She smiles such a big smile

Hiding all the pain inside

Her eyes sparkle with such light

You’d never know her journey

What others see as strength

Is really just her facade

Put on from years of practice

Prim and proper is what they want

That is all they want to see

Not the chaos or anxiety that’s flowing so free

Pinned down like nails in a board

Pushing through the fierce darkness

Beckoning, consuming, unstoppable

Until it isn’t know more

She stood tall and firm

Fighting demons and monsters

Breaking free of the chains

No more a pawn in their chess game

They became powerless over her

She grew strong on that day

No longer living down to expectations of shit
