–

She was troubled.

Already gray, but only a decade old.

For a long time her mind was searching,

wishing for happiness and hope.

Always more or less lonely,

wandering from place to place.

Beautiful, loved and in peoples thoughts.

Even though she just did not know it.

A soul longing for life,

trapped in a body, with a mind fixed on darkness.

Thinking it is not worth it.

A soul bursting with colours,

painting rainbows on the walls.

People that were wondering,

hoping, wholeheartedly praying for her to be fine.

Someone, finally sighing with relief.

Knowing she is still out there.

Better now.

Fine, even though her mind sometimes still haunts her.

A girl growing up to be a strong woman.

With hope in her eyes,

a future within sight.

She has plans in the making.

And people out there know,

yes they know that she is just like a lioness,

strong, kind, loving and fierce.

A fighter out there.

Reaching her goals,

one after another.
