She's been fighting.
For her life and her loved ones.
She was fighting her inner demons.
They were too powerful for her.
But she did not lose hope.
She'd always put a wide smile on her face,
And act as if nothing was going on.
Act as if little pointy hands,
Inside her ,are not poking her flesh.
Her skin looked so silky, soft and flawless
But
Inside it had many scratches and open cuts.
Blood flowed like the Victoria falls.
And no one noticed.
Don't worry the 'fight is over now'.
We thought she was in a better place.
What we don't know is that she is now
In the home of her inner demons.
Burning.
But
She is still fighting.
The war does not stop.
The fight is still on...
