With Her Head Held High

Hopeful of just 10 more years to go

What had gotten repetitive was the word “no”

She has dreams that stretch higher than the sky

But she always wears a crown with her head held high

Certainly knows who she wants to be

Yet has trouble defining the word “me”

She constantly has emotions to untie

But she always wears a crown with her head held high

Missing elements of life that can’t be replaced

Only can think of tests that need to be aced

She follows every thought with a “why?”

But she always wears a crown with her head held high

Challenged everyday with right versus wrong

Raised up to never not appear strong

She has problems that seem to multiply

But she always wears a crown with her head held high

Rarely cares what others say

The opinion of another will never ruin her day

She stresses with tears ready to fall from her eye

But she always wears a crown with her head held high
