Unbreakable (poem)

You see it in her smile,

you hear it in her voice,

the burden of her pain,

the weight of her love.

How long has it been?

When will she give up?

How does she manage?

When will she break?

It's like she's drinking lemon juice,

when there's water right there,

and she's smiling her way through it,

too strong to give up.

You see it in her smile,

you hear it in her voice,

she is a tempest of flame,

and she will not be extinguished.

She's incredible,

all the demons of Hell

would be far from enough

to stop her march.

Her steps may be tired and slow,

but the ground burns at her feet,

the ashes turning to cement

to form the path she's forging.

You see it in her smile,

you hear it in her voice,

she will march on

because she is unbreakable.
