♛

she's adorned with scars
like twinkling stars
standing amidst a crowd of whispers
sneering at her like she's behind bars

the walls begin to close in
but firm she would stand,
spread her arms
and bloom on a barren land

deep breaths
closed eyes
trembling legs
final sighs

the world takes a pause
when she lets go
spinning around
voices now a faint echo

the dark would never let go
but her eyes would shine the same
alight with a fire
none shall tame.
