She, from meek beginnings came
A multi sided gem in name
Tossed in oceans of uncertainty
Against rocks that always let her be
Broken and shaped by sand and edge
Her heart kept fast and held its pledge
Not held back she pushed on through
Though storms they raged and winds they blew
She, a fighter at her core
Got knocked down then begged for more
Her beauty’s just an alibi
She, with strength could never hide
You won’t crush her spirit, she won’t stop
This pretty gem will land on top
She chases darkness like an addict
One foot always in the night
Body twisted staggers
Finds discomfort in the light
Heartbroken from her losses
So many now she’s gone astray
Begging strangers for their pity
All her joy has gone away
Wallows in her misery
A friend who always lends an ear
Shuts out those who love her
And ones who want to end her fear
Every shallow breath she takes
Pulls her deeper to the grave
Never thinks of those around her
She is simply darkness’s slave
Gone ahead to find the trail
That leads us through the misty veil
Found some friends who went before
That now run free on a distant shore
Sky so blue and cloud so white
Every face so filled with light
We wait for you to join us here
But all our spirits are still near
Walk beside you as you stride
Our heads held high and full of pride
Never far away from you
Don’t ever doubt what love can do
We’re all connected at the core
We’ll be together again once more
