damsel in distress

damsel in distress

tears streaming down

the stronger to show for it

she sticks to her guns

without a shoulder to cry on

until a shoulder appears

no saving to be done

for she has learned to

build a dam

for the tears flow

and build a fortress

a soft landing

how strong for her

to create a home

and entryway

when the tears

threaten to demand

a wall

no saving

when she carries

on

with no safety

net

she will

carry

on
