Dec 2021
She woke up on the right side of the bed and the sky is shinning bright like ever, with her perfect smile she smiles like she was Eva.
The feeling was strong as the joy clicked her mind like it was her favorite song
With a perfect morning and so nothing seemed wrong
So she let her dreams be the distant cousins to her nightmares
With hope her sister to her prayers and bravery the father  to her fears
In a battle between personality and reality
So she planned deeply as she felt the love, so she prepared
She found some clothes and got dressed.
She couldn’t help but look in the mirror and subtly she was impressed
How her life was rough around the edges and yet casually messed.
As she looked in the glances out her window; she sees the sight that she was blessed

You see this was an African woman at the age of 16
The girl with a dream to shine like a star or brighter
A story foretold but this was truly her story
This was truly her feelings
The girl with a story to tell
But her life was no fairly tale; cause behind her smile is everything she tried to live behind
Behind her smile i saw pain; I saw stain across the heart I saw where it hurts and then I saw the truth and yes I saw both marks.
but I stood back as ****** , I watch with no response  does that make me guilty of the sins that was just done.
You see this was the life of a young African woman whose life was undone
I wrote this when we first meet and she asked me to write about her based on the little she told me
