Innocence Her Strength

Innocence Her Strength

When you walk by, look in her eyes

Look beyond the prettiness and witness the sadness

Buried so deep, the cry’s silent

But the verge of tears is always a moment

Was she too shy and innocent?

For the world doesn’t take kindly to that

Her experience where the sweetheart touch was unknown

Where those closest were frightening and left her alone

She remembers the scorn and rejection because she came from lower down

False accusations that rang out and called “thief”

So all she did was deny and in confusion cry

Bu she found in that, the ability to always rise, her eyes dry

Alas, mistakes in life with guidance herself

Those pathways that lead and never quite arrive

So she sits wondering with her scars, all alone

Yes still, despite the sadness she’ll never let herself down
