she is reaching,
tip-toeing ever so slightly
for fear of the free-fall
she wants acceptance so badly,
almost crossing a line of unacceptability,
pressures mounting in her pulses,
her grievances have yet to be answered
praying for a resolution,
uncertainties of tomorrow play (prey) upon her soul,
upon her endurance,
and cast her into a weaker light
that she never should have known
will someone answer this fallen girl?
or is she left to deal with circumstance
all on her own?

ahhhh this is wonderfully written. I love the picture and your words go wonderfully with it. You use imagery very well here. And I can only hope that the girl is not left alone... that someone care enough to come to her in her hour of need. Great write here. Keep up the good work! Good luck in the contest!
