And yet again she woke up with a start,
Those indurate memories tugging ruthlessly at her heart.
Years have passed, it was all left in the past,
Yet she didn't know that the pain would forever last.

"Your husband is everything, just bow down and obey",
But no one had ever seen the demon, scorching her being every night and day.

She was taught to love him with all her heart,
But those malicious eyes crumbled her soul, tearing her every bit apart.
His obdurate callousness soared up high every night,
And her struggling honor had always put up a fight.

To blossom like a white tulip, she was destined to be.
To stand strong in the cruel storm, claiming her worthiness for all eternity.
She stood up again, with renewed strength and all her might,
For she knew the battle wasn't over yet, she still had to fight.

Having her loved ones put on stake, she couldn't take it anymore,
Securing her daughter in her arms, she walked right out of the door.

The 'change' was in her hands, she couldn't rely on anyone else,
She was the pride, she was the virtue, she was the firepower in herself.
