Life was never easy,
not for her, not for anyone.
Still it was contentful,
or maybe just a pretence.
Did she push it through?
Well, sometimes.
Other times it just went
like a cascading waterfall.
The people around praised her,
for being mentally strong,
but little did they know that,
being strong doesn't negate,
what the heart feels.
One just learns to hide it better.

She wanted to be vulnerable for once,
being able to cry out when desired,
to release that built up pressure,
like water stored against a dam,
ready to swallow the area downstream,
To clear out the clouds,
being able to see the stars once again.
