her world
harsh realities
tiring dreams
voiceless screams
her world
fleeting fantasies
blissful dreams
pale moonbeams
her constitution strong
her edited life gone
the lioness within
her pride
still she seeks
equality
respect
we look for it
but we are blind
“A wise woman wishes to be no one’s enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone’s victim.” – Maya Angelou

I like the progression of seemingly contradictory states of mind, and how it builds up to a harmonious whole. Excellent take!

beautiful cat. Hi there. I am going around the neighborhood introducing myself. My name is Marc. My blog contains excerpts from my book The Driveway Rules. It contains memoirs about growing up with undiagnosed autism. I hope you stop by.
