It Shall be

What will
She make
Of a world,

That rejects
That gives pain
That silences small voices

That narrows  a door
When she looks wide
That is easy to feel helplessness

That pays
No attention
To her heart

That holds her hands
Side to side with roaring storms

That does not
Want to be repaired
Or built at all

It shall be,
She will be herself
Even when she is no one
Even when she is not
Written down in history
Even when she has to
Speak so that she doesn't look stupid

And the world,
As it is,
She will step into it,
Rather than wait outside
And find out
What it's really
Carrying inside.
