She Fights

A tear falls down,
Hands hold the face,
Blood streaks down-
Pain has been found.

She shouts out in pain,
Cuts a little deeper,
Heart beats rapidly-
She questions if she's sane.

To isolation she disappears,
She fights for her life,
She fights for the truth,
She fights to know whose reflected in the mirror.

They hold her back,
She scratches her way forward,
Fumbling through the dark,
Using the courage she no longer lacks.

Forcing a glimpse of light,
She breaks out from her walls.
Running from the shadows,
Freedom is finally in sight.

So much blood lost to find this light,
So much life left behind,
