Determination

Black teardrops run down her porceline cheek

You follow them from her eyes to her chin

Roadmaps are drawn out of the hurt and betrayal

Shattered glass on the floor— the final straw

Her heart is reflected onto the shattered pieces

Fragments of joy and peace are missing– lost

Shattered dreams you see in her eyes

The masks she wore burned in anger and frustration

They lie in piles of ash on the glass

Scars run across her stomach and thighs

Smaller ones from the needles through her neck–

Thise from when she tried to show her life back together.

Confusion etched across her face

Wondering which turn to take next

One thing can be seen in her glassy eyes

Determination;
