She.

Little girl inside, broken one too many times
She kept it all inside, painted on a smile
Under a frozen sun she stood to face the pain
She said to herself through this she will gain
At times the darkness would leave her in vain
Then when the knife began to chip she braved herself
Picked up her bags and weathered the storm ahead

Standing strong through a thousand tears
Battling private wars amid a million fears
Making it through the night sometimes with no one in sight
Intermittently knowing somewhere she will find light
Convincing everyone around her there’s a reason behind this thunder and rain
Persevering for one day she will look through all the hurt and pain
Perpetuating through adversity to find a new person inside
Yes! One day the phoenix will surely rise

Starting over is not easy, it’s so dark at times
She knows it very well & made peace with the fact
Everytime she fell. Wiped the dust off her shoulders
Stood up and walked on as if she never stumbled
She won’t wallow in despair; a brighter day hides behind this sorrow
She will look ahead for there will be tomorrow
When her wings will spread, her eyes will sparkle
Standing proud, ready to take to the sky

Always remember
Butterflies are free to fly
You’re a butterfly, go on and fly
Soar up high above, your spirit should never die
Leave the past behind and don’t you ever cry
For you are a butterfly :)
