She gazed out of that window
Every single day
Wondering what’s it like out there
In the open, in the rain
For darkness grew within
Knowing no bounds
Not far was the day
When comes for her the hound
She knew she must try
Or this might be the end
For how to battle the nemesis
That dwell within
Fascinated by smiles
So vivid, so live
She wanted to be happy
To be able to revive
Gathering her remnants
She raced to and fro
To step out in this macabre
To let it all go
For the first time ever
She was on her own
Basking in the sun
She felt all grown
She rose, albeit unsteadily
Weary of losing her way
Of being faceless among the many
Labeled as the damsel in dismay
It’s a long way to fruition
Whines the oldster she didn’t know
While she dances away in glory
Not afraid of the dark anymore
