Honed By Pain Poem by Sanya Bhatt

With feet that dance after crossing a burning terrain
Blisters unseen by many eyes
A distant gleam of sorrow escapes when the saga of her bygone days surface
A vision of elegance and resilience
Just sitting there, happy to be

What happened remains a secret that should never be told
what she did with it, is what one should uphold
stormy nights only smoothed her hair
Tears she shed rendered more glistening to her eyes
The pain endured just lays in the depth of her bosom
burning there to exude warmth and passion
Like a rock she stays, surface only smoothed by the pounding waves
With a smile that sparkles like a diamond
She prevails
To inspire
To be there
For anyone that needs.
