FAÇADE

She is a person
Above all things she is a person
She is human
She is flawed as all humans are

And though she holds her head high
Squares her shoulders
And puts on a brave face
She is human
And so in her private moments
She lets go of her façade
And lets lose the tears.

She is a person
She is hurt
Yes her heart is strong
And brave
But even the strongest
And bravest get hurt
She is tired
And has thought many thoughts
Dreamed many dreams
And wished many wishes
Like all humans
She has a zeal to overcome
But still she wishes for a
Single person to take a miles
Walk in her shoes

She is a person
and while she knows
the good  an imaginative mind
can do
She knows she can shut
her eyes and count to ten
but the only thing that
would have changed is the time
She is human
She is a woman
Like the women before her
She knows she has to be strong
What she doesn't know yet
is that
She is strong, brave,beautiful
and  outstanding
its only a matter of time
before she realise that her
 

 
façade is not a façade
It's who she is.
