She was the strong one
The brave one
The one that everyone knew would never crack
But secretly she had cracks forming up and down her walls
Even though she raced to cover them, she knew they were always there
No one else could see them, all they saw was the outside
The high fortress that would never crumble to the ground
But from the inside she was falling apart trying to keep it together
At times she could even convince herself that the walls would never break
She had patched all the cracks but all at once the wall came tumbling down
She was mortified
Yet she was also in awe of the wonders that were held outside her wall
The freedom she felt
The peace she had never been allowed to know
She had never been out
All she had ever done was gaze through the cracks as she was patching them
Everyone stared at her
They'd never even seen her
All they knew was the little that they had been told
But now they could see her
She was amazing
She was stronger than they had ever realized
She wasn't hiding in the comfort of her own fortress
She was dying in the solitude of it
She just didn't want anyone to waste their time saving her
She just didn't want anyone to waste their time saving her
The girl who had everyone fooled
The girl who built a wall that would never break
Broke.
