Fear, anxiety
Run through her veins
Unknown is the path laid before her
This road so hard
Many a mountain has she climbed
Only to see
The end is still not in sight
Hope is her companion
The only thing she can cling to
She stands in the face of adversity
Bends but does not break
The end so far away
She continues to fight her fight
Stronger everyday
Loneliness beckons
It is omnipresent
A deep ache in her soul
Knowing something is there
Her happily ever after
She trudges on
After each hit she takes
The end will come
She prays sooner than one thinks
A day where she doesn't have to be so strong
Where another can hold her in her stead
One day the will will not have to be strong. Until that day, keep on the path less worn...
