She Is Trapped

On the bombardment of so many voices,

Arising from her surroundings,

She makes an effort and does her best

To make her life and others comfortable.

Yet, she is tormented by those near

And dear to her.

"You are stupid, simple,

A big failure,

Can't handle anything,

So scary and cowardly,"

So many remarks wrapped

In poisonous questions.

Initially, she was distracted,

Losing her confidence,

Trembling with fear,

Wondering if she's really a loser.

Then she shrugged her head off,

As God is always with her,

"You can do it,"

Her inner voice whispered,

And put her back with more power and confidence.

She eases all her pain

And turns the hurdles

Into stepping stones to success,

Shining out bright.
