Her Worth Poem by nyna bankard

Tossing & turning, she awakes in tears
Struggling with reality, she embraces her fears.
She holds onto faith & prays that she'll find
All that is good & leave the worst behind.
Keep all her memories close to her heart
Hoping one day to have a fresh start.
No longer afraid, no longer she hides
Opens her wings, she's ready to fly.
Bless-ed she be by the grace of God's hands
No longer oppressed by insipid demands.
Protective bout people she lets inside
Defensive, thinking folks try to run her life.
A little depressed, she fakes a smile
She picks up the pieces with no regret or denial.
If it's meant to be, the tables will turn
Meanwhile she lets go & feels the burn.
No longer a young girl suffering from hurt
She's now a grown woman who knows her worth.
