Triumph

Triumph

Her sanity hangs by a thread
As a gauntlet of turbulent emotions
Runs through the core of her being
Breaking upon a heart that is torn
Eyes narrow into slits of hatred
As love’s intense light fills her soul
Driving out the consuming darkness
That has creeped its way in
Only a sliver of loathing is what remains
Trying to block out hopes illuminating fire
Throwing her hands up towards the heavens
She shouts into the blistering wind
Wondering if she can be heard above the roar
In defeat she sinks to her knees
She pleas for help to find the way
As she looks up into the murky sky
Tears fall unheeded down pale cheeks
Watching the clouds begin to part
Allowing the suns golden rays to shine
The light touches down upon her face
Gently caressing her battered and broken spirit
She wipes away her bitter tears as she stands
With her back straight and her head held high
She revels in her new found courage
Setting off down the rock strewn path
The tigress begins to hunt down her prey
For as long as she holds tightly to her strength
The warrior she carries inside will prevail
