She was told from
an age so young
that she indeed possessed all
the magic she needed
within herself
to set
the world
to right.
She placed daisies in
her long black hair
and skipped to the beat of
the songs her mother
had sung to her
before she left
escaping
her father.
She was often alone
rarely with friends as
she found comfort in the faeries
she spoke and sang to while
the wind
gently blew
hair in
her face.
She giggled when with
her only little sister
the best part of her world
to whom she adored more than
the breaths
she took
each and
every day.
She stood firm at home
never allowing
her father’s drunken words
to penetrate her self made wall
of anger and despair
because inside
her mind
there
were angels.
She closed her eyes at night
wishing the demons
to disperse into the heavy winds
that howled through the rafters
reminding her
she was
in fact
alive.
