Strong and tall
as a brick wall
she stands.

alone and scared
no one ever cared
she cried inside.

a child left
all ears around deaf
no one could hear.

winds whistled,
rain poured,
lighting
crashed,
tornados
landed.

still standing tall
she won’t ever fall
she is more
she is better
than those who left her

ten years from now
she will be better
than the products
of her past.
