She grins when she holds invisible hands

And marches towards impossible lands

She’s singing a song that nobody knows

And watering a garden that never grows

She’s tearing down walls built sturdy and tall

And flying where one would normally fall

She’s having nightmares but sees them as dreams

And pulling at the perfectly sewn seams

She’s lifting burdens that no one else could

And caring for others that no one else would

She’s getting aces where most would fail

And living life like a fairy tale

She’s making progress on tasks thought too hard

And leading the way, a strong vanguard

She’s fighting monsters where people would perish

And slowly the change into what she can cherish

Her Strength Knows No Bounds

She Fights Upon Barren Battlegrounds

She’s gazing at the wrong reflection

And living a life of ruined perfection

She’s trying her best but falling apart

And slowly destroying her far too big heart

She’s living a lie for the sake of her peers

And hiding what she thinks are dismissive fears

She’s told she’s what everyone else should be

And closing a blind eye to what no one can see

She’s told she’s first place though she never crossed the line

And when people ask she says that she’s fine

She’s poisoned by words spoken with kindness

And scared of the sins she’ll never confess

She’s tired and lonely surrounded by those that she cares for

And longing for touch behind a locked door

She’s the one people said would lend you a hand

And she’s giving aid, ignoring things she had planned

Her Strength Knows No Bounds

The Demons She Astounds

She’s calling out for relief from her fears

But all she says fall upon deaf ears

She’s craving for someone to pull her from Hell

To save her from her homemade cell

“Save me!” She begs to those that she’s aided

They all roll their eyes, as if they’re frustrated

“It’s your turn,” She’ll cry

“No it’s not,” They deny,

Then turn to the others, as if they’ll have a different reply

They’ll nod, all in turn, then turn her way,

“Save yourself,” They say

“It’s better that way,”

“And hurry up, we don’t have all day”

She’ll sit there in silence, thinking things through,

“Alright,” She says, then bids them adieu

Turning her back, she opens a new door

One that she hadn’t noticed before

“Come back,” They all cry

“Without you we’ll die!”

She turns her head and gives them one last smile

“Save yourself,” She says, “I’ll be gone for a while.”

Amid all the crocodile tears she’ll run

Towards a new world full of sun

Their advice, whether they meant it or not,

Was all that she needed, least she begin to rot

Her Strength Knew No Bounds

As She Headed For New Grounds

I tell you this story, and know that it’s true

No one is perfect, that’s a fact, through and through

Many deny their part in this story

Too busy, you'll find, reaching for glory

Save yourself, a motto, good and bad

Help others, one that’s happy and sad

Do both, I will tell you, do both, I will warn

Lest you regret you ever were born

I’ll tell you why, and finish this tale

That girl, she’s okay, she did prevail

And so will you, take comfort in these propounds

For your strength, too, shall know no bounds
