In the face of Violence

She walks with a heavy heart, her steps uncertain

Her mind a maze of questions, her spirit burning

Why do they hurt her, just because she's small?

Why do they take what they want, with no remorse at all?

She's a woman of power, with a heart of gold

Her voice a symphony, her touch warm and bold

But still they come, with their hands and their hate

Leaving her broken, her spirit erased

She cannot comprehend, this senseless attack

The cruelty inflicted, the wounds left in their wake

She wonders why they do it, what could make them so cruel?

What could make them think, that violence is their tool?

But still she rises, her strength a testament

To the power of women, who won't let this arrest

Their growth and their journey, to live in a world

Where they're safe and respected, where their rights are upheld

So she continues to fight, with her voice and her might

For a world where all women, are seen in the light

Where they're loved and protected, where they're free to be

And where they can walk, without fear of violence and tyranny.
