The Sufferer

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…
