They Tried To Paint Her A Sad Reality

They tried to

Paint her a

Sad reality

Color her world

In shades of gray

Dark and hazy

But she refused

To look at the

World through

Darkened eyes.

It could have

Broke her

That shift

In reality

A world changed

Her life rearranged

She’d been through

Enough to bring

A giant to their

Knees.

She refused

To let them

Paint her reality

Shade it with

Negative attitudes

And unfair assumptions

Her life was a gift

Not a tragedy.
