Ending

Sleepless nights
Empty eyes
Wild thoughts
Silent cries

Unheard pleading
Whispered prayers
Tear stained pillow
Messy hair

A torrent of unspoken words kept inside
Find their way out; they begin to fly
Tears break the flood gates; pour out from within
Find their path down these black shaded cheeks

The pain pours forth from this tortured soul
Away with this despair; please make it leave
Drain the hurt from the heart; fix the mind
Sorrow is gone, only emptiness left behind

Curtains drawn back to let the light in
Darkness fades; the shadows disappear
Relief is in sight; she senses it near
Smiles return; let her laughter be heard

This is the girl that you almost broke down
The one that you tried to push under
This is the girl that was hurt for your pleasure
The one that was used to amusement

But the tables have turned; things have changed
This girl has risen, her strength has returned
She no longer struggles; she has found the words
Your shit won’t be taken; no, not anymore

This is the girl that you thought you ruined
The one that you almost defeated
But this girl will always find the strength to stand
Get back on her feet and continue to fight

This is the one that will never give up
This is the girl that will never stay down
This is the one with the power to succeed
Because this girl is me!
