The Rise And Fall.

She looks around,
feeling nothing at all.
Everyone's eyes on her,
demanding her fall!

Would it be that easy,
for their cravings to grow?
Overcome her will,
and grant them their flow?

Would she be that weak,
bending under pressure ?
There's still so much to seek,
Without the oppression!

Will she bend on her knees,
kneel down and pray?
Oh, how much will it cost her!
Price just to stay!

Stay in this world,
as her own true being?
But try as she might,
it's not something she's seeing.

Thoughts cloud her mind,
Morbid ones override,
those softer feeling,
She has bottled up inside.

She still lies here,
all smashed and broken.
Praying for a ressurection,
a chance to be outspoken!

'Let them overtake me?',
she asks one day.
'Poison my mind
to a point of no Glee?".

But what if life was just a blur,
would she be thinking that much more?
What if her heart just in a spur,
started following love's lost lore?

Will she stand up tall?
Strong , head held high?
Or will she crumble and fall,
her head leaving the sky?

Beat after beat,
Her heart thumps wildly.
Reminding her sore feet ,
that she can still walk snidely

Numbness retreating,
she gets on her feet.
Although shaky she feels,
she dares to meet,

so cold and cruel
they stare back at her.
So jealous, demanding
These eyes of a fool!

A smile plays on her lips
"I'm back " she says.
For once more her eclipse
retreats and depress!

Her eyes go to the sky,
So blue , so pure!
She imagines floating like a bird,
determined,so sure!

And suddenly she's rising,
white wings agape.
She is finally realising,
the stranger was afraid.

With brilliant blue eyes,
she stares down at him.
'I'm finally free, oh yes!'
She whispers , very grim!

And with that she's afloat,
sailing through the skies.
To somewhere I thought
would be the last place she lies.
