A Girl's Hope

A girl sits in the corner of the room
Crying her heart out, full of despair
Hoping and praying that her words in the air
Somehow reach the person she knows is there
But she's afraid, oh so afraid

It almost feels like her impending doom
Making herself known could be a path to ruin
But staying in that corner is not an option
Long ago she had made this deduction
She needs to be strong, oh so strong

She's hidden for years but it's time to bloom
Makes her way into the outside, leaving behind that rot
And she wonders as she finally lets herself go
"There's finally hope for me, is there not?"
And she's right, oh so right

But even now, a threat seems to loom
She's been indoors for so long, she's not known to the world
There's just no knowledge of what the future might hold
It might as well be a new beginning to her
That makes her feel scared, oh so scared

But the important thing is, the story isn't anywhere near over
She faces that fear and decides to move onward
Every beginning is scary, and the first step may be hard

But she finally understands that she needs to do so
She'll move with courage, and live her life with pride
And keep climbing this mountain no matter how high

From the egg she was born and she destroyed a world
One full of despair, cowardice, anguish, and lies
And she feared that destruction would end her old ties

But in this new world, those ties might yet survive
Thanks to hope, courage, joy and sincerity
She decides to open up even with such uncertainty

With her eyes unwavering and taking bold steps, she doesn't stray off her way
With courage in her heart and a pen in her hand, she settles down and a poem she writes
