her legs shake
but she pulls herself to her feet
her hands bleed
but she clenches her fists
her eyes water
but she raises them to meet mine
she stands before me
a picture of defiance
shaking legs
bleeding hands
watering eyes
she is weak
but she is strong enough

but she raises them to meet mine
she stands before me
a picture of defiance
shaking legs

watering eyes
she is weak
but she is strong enough
