Braveheart (Part One)
(Chapter 4:Rising Strong)

A Braveheart, she marches through the blood-soaked trenches of her mind, through the words cruel and unkind.
With her sword in her hand, she cuts each word in two.
All alone battling each day.
But she is used to that and knows no other way.
So no one sees the war she is fighting, or her tears.
She is a Braveheart admired and revered.
One day when this war is over, she will lay down and rest.
But until that time comes, this Braveheart marches on, slaying her demons one by one.
