May she have the strength to continue her fight for survival!

She has potential,

But lurking under her skin is fear.

Fingernails with dirt under the nails,

Feet aching from neglect,

Motivation keeping her constantly running.

Tied up from not knowing if tomorrow will come,

From the west side to the east coast.

At times she feels like she is going on a downhill slide,

Setting her apart for she never loses faith,

Like no other she broadens her horizons.

Going down hill is always easier than going up, perhaps she needs some help going up.
