Pearl Gates

Everyday she goes through pain,
That would make a normal person go insane.
Nothing to gain,
From this pain,
Only earthly strain.
Beatings with a metal cane.
No sunshine, only rain.

She cries in the night;
Too weak to put up a fight.
No safe place in sight.
Only darkness now; no light.
Pain shoots through her,
And she finally sees a light.
So bright.
So white.

The Angels are finally here;
And out of her eye falls a single tear.
She feels warm as they hold her,
Without them she'd feel so much colder.

She makes a final plea,
"Please protect those
Who go through the same pain as me!"
The Pearl Gates close.
How she feels now? No one knows.
