A tribute to Her
Brave as she shoulders the world
Crumbling inside 

Damp soul 
Eaten by beasts
Floundering about life
Growing thorns and roses throughout
Her strife

I weep for her pain 
Justice nowhere to be found
Knives tear at my chest

Living
May seem easy
Nowhere to escape fate
Other than breaking the walls of
Prison

Qué Será, será
Rest assured my broken friend
Someday you'll break free
