She sits upon the mountaintop looking out towards the pillar of clouds that float around the mountain as she sits on the edge of the cliff, her thoughts tumbled back to the day of her pain and sorrow when she was but a child, and recalled that fateful night

Because I feel I am unworthy to have one
After being down trodden, beaten, abused
...
I was sad to learn
That my boy will be leaving home
