STUBBORN

She hoped and hoped
to live and laugh.
Her striving could
never see an end..

Years kept passing
but she was never at ease.
Her shoulders always
burdened with responsibilities..

The pain in her heart
drenched her soul.
She longed for moments
when life would smile at her..

Her childhood was suffocated
Melancholies befriended her.
She always found herself
trapped in the sullen past..

The aching heart
could never utter a word.
Though she had this hope
love would find its way..

Standing alone
in front of the mirror.
Her reflection tells her
to remain patient..

Her willingness to smile
threatens this cruel world.
But she keeps on walking
on the path she chose..

None in the world
might stop her ever.
How stubborn she is
perhaps no one would ever know..

She, the one who never gives up!!
