She was afraid

Her hands were shaking

Heart was aching

But she remained to act unscathed


Her battle was for all to see

As she was unbelievably

Brave despite

Being terrified


Her identity

A fact that could be

Said ever so naturally

Was unheard of by surrounding ears


And now

She would speak

And take pride in who

She could be


Not all would approve

She was scared of their reply

But no matter how hard their words

She refused to cry


Smoke behind her

Decorated with fire

She was terrified

But she would stay alive.
