Growing Courage

Black ruffled hair
Skin so fair
Cold soulless eyes
A gateway to all the lies

Fake smiles
The guilty on trial
Your love is that pill
That makes her ill

Her head hanging down
Something escaping her lips;a small sound
Starts with a small whimper
And soon becomes a sob

Her pride she tries to keep
All the hurt she has;it's so deep
Her dignity you try to take away
But her courage grows with each passing day
