–Maria M. Ruiz (@chibiloulou)

 

Strong like the wind
She did not bend
No matter the wound
Time would always mend

She stood up for others
Those with no voice
Those whose rights were taken
Without ever given a choice

She hated injustice
And those who abused
Those with cold hearts
Who just took with amuse

She vowed life wouldn’t change her
It wouldn’t thicken her heart
She would still have compassion
Nothing would tear her apart

And the strength she acquired
Undoubtedly sealed her fate
Now when looking in the mirror
She sees only Penelope the Great
