Her Future is Destined
She knows what’s in store
She surfs every window of opportunity,
Standing proud and balanced upon her board,
Some days she carves the waves as the Queen of barrels,
And on others, mullering and totally floored.
**
She clings to the wings of her faithful angels,
Knowing they’ll catch her should she fall,
Soaring above the clouds of scarcity,
Smiling through her pretence when she feels terribly small.
**
She screams silently through her anxiety,
Bottling the expressions of fear deep down inside,
Sheltered under the protection of her courage,
Where others believe she were to cowardly hide.
**
Shame keeps her enemies in their place,
As it is they that’ll hide when they see her awaken,
Her eyes fall upon the weak and wounded,
Heads bowed, convinced she has long forsaken.
**
Foolishly believing her heart haunts her past,
When truthfully it beats for the magic of tomorrow,
She’ll taunt and scramble in her endeavour to be happy,
Politely asking for the truth in which she’ll bargain and borrow.
**
When she falls from the sky as a failure reborn,
She’ll pick up the pieces and ride the ocean currents once more,
Surfing the crests of her stress and worry,
Knowing she just has to hang tight to even the score.
**
Her future is challenging, but she rides forth in excitement,
Stepping in high heels through the boundaries of her comfort zone,
It’s a race against time, as the future begins to arrive,
Locking in her battles, those in which she’s destined to fight alone.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
