The girl that wasn't
The girl that wasn't due to circumstances
but wished she were, due to her innate desire,
Finally is, thanks to her need to wipe the slate clean and start afresh.
But the forces, ever watchful wishes she isn't
so that she can be pulled down to where she was before
But she, ever persistence fights them back
with strength and Vigor
With wishes and wills
With prayers and fasts
With grit and perseverance
But alas they might be changing her to who she was, but wishes she isn't.
Her strength fails her yet and yet again
Her will desert her and takes wings
Her groomed façade comes crumbling down
The stone colds and domineos have resurrected
The matrix are winning
BOOM! BOOM!BOOM!
The voice of God in the dark
The sound of rain in the drought
The sound of gushing water in the wilderness
The sound of hope in despair
The sound of relief in isolation
As if on cue, she receives a surge of divine strength
She gets rejuvenated
The will to "be" becomes fiercer
The will to "live" becomes stronger
Adrenaline surges through her body
The crumbling façade gives way to beauty, poise and elegance.
She finally takes a bold step, another, then another
Till she was walking, running, then finally flying.
And fly she did without wings
Lo and behold, she who wasn't, finally is against all odds.
