people fight wars,
but often forget that one battle is all that is needed to win.

Can't have an opinion,
Or question her decision,
Forget about our ideals,
She doesnt want to hear,
Unless it's about the way she feels,
Fall in line or leave,
No compromise,
Stern face as ever,
Watching tears fall from my eyes,
Maybe life was too tough on her,
Maybe that's why shes like it,
Doesn't give a **** about your opinion,
Listening but never hearing,
Quiet only so she can speak,
The conversations over as soon as she feels complete,
Nothing in common,
Different worlds,
Only thing bonding us is blood,
I try to connect,
It's clear I'm misunderstood,
How am I supposed to move forward.
Never a good word to say about me,
Though that's not what's scary,
The fact she thinks she knows me,
Knows my life,
She doesn't,
I tell her nothing,
I learned a long time ago,
Theres only so much you can say to someone that doesn't see you,
So after a while,
I just stopped trying,
Change is something she doesn't care for,
So I take my place,
Putting one knee on the floor.

I've never been little,
I'm not in any way brittle.
I hold a lot of weight between my smile,
Life to me is just one big trial.

No one knows what I've been through,
What I've done to get to you.
But I found out you don't want me,
I smiled even though I was drowning in a sea.
I let people manipulate me,
All because I couldn't see.

So call me a little girl as much as you please,
Let the words spread like a disease.
But just know that behind this "little" smile of mine,
I'm stronger than you know, acting like I'm fine.

Did you think you'd win?
For a moment I did.
As if death or something akin,
Of you, I would never be rid.

Instead I came back,
Fighting tooth and nail,
Healing the breaks and cracks,
Living to tell the tale.

It's not my time,
Not for a long while.
I still have mountains to climb
And am yet to face more trials.

This shadow fades away,
I bid it goodbye.
It fades to grey,
Invisible to the eye.
