Strong And Delicate
~Deana J. Tavares
She has chosen to be happy
Inside a body
Made of glass
That breaks
And cracks
Around her
With every bump
At every crash
On the outside
Looks are deceiving
Neatly accessorized
Wearing smiles
Ravaged by explosions
Inside war torn for miles
The darkness
It will not get her
As she fights it
Sword in hand
She’ll fight it
Every single day
Until she cannot stand
It will not win
This battle
She will fight it
Night and day
It will be her choice
Then her flag
She shall hoist
But first
She will have her day
