It's been a While <br />Since she looked in the mirror <br /> Replacing the terror with a gentle Smile <br /> <br />Eyes of darkness <br /> Soul hidden from within <br />Inner life all in a mess <br /> Heart protected with walls of tin <br />Ignoring all witnesses of sin. <br /> <br /> It's been a While <br />Since her arms were there <br /> To make another's heart Smile <br /> <br />Burden with a life full of Pain <br /> Trapped, can't go any Lower <br />Come to realization <br /> She had nothing to Lose <br />But everything to Gain! <br /> <br /> It's been a While <br />Since she's found this new way <br /> She'll Never look back <br />Today her only duty is to <br /> Join others with her new Smile! <br />.<br /><br />Kristin Nicole RothDavis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-been-a-while/
