The journey has
come to an end.

Where some wounds
do not intend
to mend.

They shriek open
like gaping jaws ,

They ache and
anguishly gnaws.

Some tears
had been wiped
out clear ,

Her soul had grown
stronger and known
no fear.

She stood like a warrior
in a gown filled with gems
and frills.

She smiled and concealed her
wounds,

As if she was demure enough to
kill monsters at midnight.
