That 'Soul'
A soul of pure came into the world,
Unknowing where; was this the mistake the soul made,
or her sins paying her off from the previous life.
It grew up quiet and scared, was forced to do things it doesn't like,
was this the mistake the soul made or that she was quiet,
His or her doesn't matter but the soul craved for love,
which it couldn't find and criticized herself her whole life.
Though she smiled outside, none knew what's in her mind,
she acted strong but was weak inside,
her pillow knew how much she cried,
was waiting for the night it dies.
