The pain was agonizing-
But she endured;
They more she suffered,
The more they thrust.
She knew that her inner strength,
Would heal it all,
She had learnt this long ago,
So she suffered.
Without a shield, without a word,
Without a tear,
The pain was excruciating.
The world stabbed her-
With yet more pain-
But she just looked at them,
And smiled…
