The Girl Who Refuses To Cry

She takes a step up..

Each time she trips.

Falling down doesn’t..

Bother her.

Making a fearless grunt..

Uneven and blunt.

Turns her face..

While she gets distracted by her untied lace.

Bending down doesn’t stop her.

Getting breathless..

As she chokes.

A sprinkle of pain down her shin provokes..

Turning back doesn’t evoke her.

Finally in the crowd..

She pulls her standing proud.

I did it shouting loud..

As she chuckles droplets of tears.

Spotting her mother smiling at while she cheers.

Suddenly getting darker..

Clouds felicitate the embark.

Her feet

giving away the spark.

As she wants no further..

Her shoes are no weeper..

Dozing off like a light sleeper.

Waking up to the instant dawn..

Like a truimphant swan.

Abused yet outrageous was her try..

Cause this girl refuses to just sit and cry.
