No one ever said to her,
You'll be okay,
Every pair of staring eyes told her a million stories,
That she was a failure,
A book never to be finished,
A little girl soon to have the same fate as her troubled parents.
For a long, painful page,
She believed monsters who thought they had written the end of her story.
Then, like a freshly inked page,
She declared she was stronger than those ever-present demons,
She would not be defined by her past,
Would write her own story,
Finish it, and be proud of it,
Unfinished chapters and all.
