sea. (✔)

on the edge.

alone she sits on the bench
finally at peace of mind
but once she gets up again
the society is blind

they don't see her
they don't try
while she's in the corner
holding back a cry

but she's been through worse
she tells herself
and she will fall
but she will stay strong

you may have all the weaponry  now
but to destroy a woman , you have nothing at all

she does so much
from singing to a baby
to fighting alongside the army

from making sure there's food on your plate
to doing whatever it takes ,
to make sure you don't ever frown

and after all that,
when she is asked
"are you alright?"
she has the power to curl her lips into a small smile and say "alls well here , the ship made it through the storm. how's your day?"

so praise her
you must
for she is the reason
your heart hasn't turned to dust
