I see Alexis's calm, resolved, awkward demeanor,
which betrays her powerful eyes
that hint so much life and passion.
Feelings hiding underneath her protective facade.
Thinking that maybe, just maybe
she should just keep quiet because it's easier.
She doesn't know how much delight
her voice resonates around everyone.
She hears everyone but tries to ignore
warming up the tensioned atmosphere around her
to feel free, to feel unrestricted
but she feels a gripping hold in her feelings.
Her consciousness explains risk is a fool's option.
Hiding herself from the world, a darn shame.
She doesn't know that her simple smile obliterates
what she thinks are difficult obstacles and situations.
She's unaware that she leaves herself no justice at all.
I can tell that her cause is to never ever get hurt again.
So I come up to her and whisper this words:
"Take this advice, live for every aching moment in life."

Love that ending! Great advice there too. Her lack of confidence and self-esteem were something I think a lot could relate to! You definitely brought her t life.
