Emotions
“A real human girl,
Who speaks with blood on her mouth,
You can see it when she pouts,
Anger she holds inside,
But it is not her fault.
A daily life full of sadness,
It’s what she hides with a smile,
Because even a smile that shows unhappiness,
Can be covered with a little makeup and wipes.
She thinks life brings surprises,
That can give joy at a prize,
Because thunder and battle outside,
Won’t let her day collide.
She learned that after a few breakdowns,
She holds an armor beneath her skin,
With acceptance of her own,
A warrior with no fear.
At the end of the day,
Ecstasy may be found in a latte,
She drinks one every monday,
Leading forward the good way.”
