she starts the day
calm and blissful
not a thing going on
expecting nothing unusual
in the blink of an eye
her world starts to shake
she's at the center
of an emotional earthquake
the initial jolt
splits her heart
the jagged chasm
tears her apart
divided in two
she loses her ground
has no anchor
gets tossed around
when the upheaval
finally ceases
she looks all over
to find her pieces
bits of herself
strewn and scattered
she finds it difficult
to see why she matters
she wants to stay broken
lay in the debris
of her crushed emotions
a soiled dusty sea
but she finds strength
to stand up tall
won't allow disaster
to make her small
she'll take the rubble
that is herself
and rebuild again
beauty from hell
she's done this before
and will do it again
won't allow tragedy
to do her in
she'll be stronger
for having survived
a resilient inhabitant
in her very own life
