A word well known
to her soul,
mind,
and body

As she walked
through the city streets
she saw that even though
it looked enticing
and peaceful

She knew the secrets
that were hidden behind
the walls of each and
every home

The ones she knew
like the freckles on her face
hurt the most

They were the ones that came
from behind her walls
the ones no one else
knows

She looks so peaceful
and confident
but don't let the outside
distract you from
what may be on the inside
