Her heart has been heavy
for quite some time
Mistakes she has made
have left her primed
For crime and chaos
no money does she steal
But security instead
which makes her feel
No happiness doth
this woman deserve
Instead looks forward
to impending hurt.
To sabotage self
is the path she sees
For her heart and head
do seldom agree.
These choices she makes
mere parts of a plan
To push away good
to do all that she can
To prove to herself
she's worthless as said
Somehow that aligns
her heart with her head.
The day comes when
she's sick of pity
The alarming thoughts
the negativity.
So she grabs her pen
and begins to write
Her feelings on paper
and ponders her plight.
As she completes
the last verse of rhyme
Her heart feels better
thanks to words and time.
