She'll Learn As She Goes

She'll Learn As She Goes

An older soul
With a baby's face.
She's wreaking havoc
And a saving grace.
A tragic miracleĀ Ā 
Of innocence misled.
Pushed into a world
She had no business in.
Swapping out her dreams
To be the perfect wife.
Never had she imagined
This would be her life.
Expected to understandĀ Ā 
What she had never learned.
Forced into the flame
Yet not allowed to burn.
A see through mask
And a scar tissued soul
Are all she has left
Of what was once whole.
Holding back her tearsĀ Ā 
She squares up her shouldersĀ Ā 
The pain grows within
As she gets older.
Living for others
While she dies inside.
Where is the joy
That goes with the pride?
Ā  So day after day
She gives more than she owes
Ā  Doing it her way,
She'll learn as she goes....
