PROSPEROUSLY
She was shy & timid
She was quiet & meek
She was insecure & felt unpretty...yet
She grew & gained a smile.
She began cracking the shell
Coming from beneath her rock
Attempted to leave home
Go to school & gain some knowledge.
And then college......college
Ya know; the temporary home away from home
Campus encased by train tracks
Inside those tracks, she felt secure
But outside those tracks she was hurt.
She was raped, she was mistreated
She was an object, she was shamed
She hid again & cried endlessly
She lost her smile & felt silenced.
But eventually....
She began to trust again & let people in
She became a mother & learned to love
She learned patience & gained poise
She refused to be a sexual ploy.
And now.....NOW
She is beautiful & graceful
Sexy & sassy...how do I know you ask me?
Because I am Her & She is Me
And I am taking on life
PROSPEROUSLY
