Lisbeth Lopez
She
Be gone the girl of yesterday,
Who felt the deep of shadows
Creep into her life
She has built her house,
On a firm foundation
That can last through any season
Be gone the girl of yesterday,
Who cried when things
Didn’t go her way
She has come to know,
Her tears gave birth to the petals
Of a beautiful white rose
Be gone the girl of yesterday,
Who hid her gifted talents
Due to doubting
She has multiplied her gifts,
In the stillness of attempts And hasn’t given in
Be gone, to her
To her, be gone
Her who?
Who is she?
Who was she?
She was you.
