She sharpens her keys on her fear every night.
She's learned how to hold them, fingers closed tight.
She practices swipes at villains in the mirror,
And scream loud so that someone will hear her.
And all the while the monster live on,
Finding new victims for their demons to prey on,
And all the while women
who have such strength and such fear,
Go on with their lives and those keys kept near.
