Raven's Wrath

Hero

They all said she was broken, but little did they know, she hid her strength behind the words she left unspoken.
They all said she was weak, simply because years flew by and she would never speak.
She did not trust the world they had put her in.
So full of hate, and sadness, and sin. She wanted to run away...
But for some reason she decided to stay.
She decided to wake up every. Single. Day.
She decided to smile in her own, beautifully simple way.
She ignored all of the hateful stares..
And when I looked into her eyes, she hid behind her hair.
Little did she know,
I saw the smile that she pretended was not there.
I saw the pain hidden inside her eyes.
I saw that she would rather die.
Yet she didn't.
She looked at that thought,
And said it was forbidden.
She stayed silent for all of these years,
Yet she fought against the system.
The system of this world, where you had to be perfect.
She would never be the victim.
She was the hero of her own story.

It was her choice.
It was her life...
So she chose.
She chose to be a rose.
Silently beautiful.
She chose to be a meadow..
To always be free.
She chose to be a hero, not a victim.
The way she would always be.
