She hurried away, eager to please

The ones who expected much from her.

Her eyes did not see the danger,

Instead watching visions of pretty dreams.

But as she stumbled and fell

Over the staircase of hell

She flailed and she clenched her mouth shut

Biting her tongue and drawing blood,

The only sound echoing was force of her demise.

And her body felt the pain,

The pain that throbbed through every part of her.

But she got to her feet

And said she was fine

I'm fine it's nothing but a scratch don't worry--

With her head held high

She walked with the gait of Hephaestus,

Entered a room and shut the door.

Lock it well, lock it tight--

She breathed softly,

Slowly

Calmly

IamfineIamfineIamfine

And unleashed a storm.
