Her words were so deeply inspiring,
although her silence could speak louder,
that the ones who heard were
immediately captivated.
The way she moves is thrilling
to those with no depths to their eyes.
To those that can see,
the pain is obvious;
everything she's suffered through
every action tells a different story.
She lost her stand-
lost everything she stood for.
One mistake that caused it all.
Her deepest regrets and sincerest apologies,
were not enough to make them surrender.
Sobbing; her tears finally dry
as she accepts the cause is hopeless.
Her stomach breathes in and out
in the sign of her breathing,
and she goes on-
although all is not forgotten.
