Why Must I continue to bear
the burden of a broken heart?
Let ye not carry the weight
of a thousand tears
or of the mending of a battered
soul.
Why must I wear a mask
through the dawning of a new day?
Where the sun shines down
on a weary head.
A body of an unrested being,
through the wars on a battlefield of a
one woman army.
No victory to be won.
Carrying a cup of pride and strength,
through the next battle....
