She’s a poor, wounded soul
you can’t make her whole
To early she’s grown old
her story would make you cold
Anxiety is what makes her tick
each day a new wall built, brick by brick
Your priviledged if she lets you in
a momentary glance of what she holds within
Cherish anything she shares willingly
but you’ll never know, her, not entirely
Planning her swan song daily
while smiling at some, gaily
