Corruption- Poem

With her head in the clouds

And the stars in her eyes

And the words that she spews

And the tears that she cries

And her bitter regrets

All the groans and the sighs

And the questions she ponders

And the “how”s and the “why”s

And the times she collapses

As the hope she felt dies

And her hands clamp her ears

To block out all the lies

It’s a harsh world she lives in

A world of broken ties

She was taught to resent

And to hate and despise

And she stumbles and tumbles

But she tries and she tries

Her whole past’s marked with scars

But with time, she grows wise

Through the highs and the lows

And the lows and the highs

Cause sometimes she may fall

Other times, she just flies

Her heart opens up

And this time she complies

She is done with runny noses

Fallen hair, blood-shot eyes

Now her head is thrown back

As she faces the skies

With a smile on her face

She will rise

She will rise
