She is soft-edges
Scars criss-crossed
on her heart
Her eyes smile
Betraying the depth of
Pain inflicted
on her soul
She is strength
Hardened by words
spoken to
break her
Her smile is warmth
Sadness supressed
Uncorked, bubbling
beneath the surface
She is love
Hear heart beating
her power
into existence
