Self

By Suzanne Allen

Alone in the world, she traveled.

Battled and weary, fighting to reach her goals.

Calmness is what she seeks.

Determination never flagging.

Endless obstacles to overcome.

Fierceness was unwavering in her eyes.

Growing continuously.

Hope surrounded her.

Indifference was met head-on.

Justification for her existence.

Kindness for everyone she met.

Love is all that she needs.

Men were her weakness.

Nemesis are men.

Older but not necessarily wiser.

Parenting others while feeling orphaned.

Questioning everything.

Reaching for happiness and stability.

Saving herself from others.

Truthful to a fault.

Understanding more than others realized.

Valor instead of victimization.

Winning despite losing.

Xanadu is the place she seeks.

Youthful soul.

Zenith is at the end.
