KERI

Born different in every way

Different heart, a different mind

Keri lived an innocent child

Sheltered from the world's harshness

Till a friend's betrayal tore away the blindfolds

Shoving the reality of the world in her pure face

Crashing of waves eroding the innocence and

purity that guarded her infant heart

The evolving of pain to muse she moved on

from her injuries a new person

From a girl to a woman, from innocent to wise

Moving forward from her pain trembling with the horror of growth

Iron walls rising in her wake shutting out the

whisperings of the world embracing the

corruption of the Earth

Eyes glaring with distrusting scrutiny

Lips twitching in mockery at the feeble

scheming of hypocrites

A heart made of stone residing in her cold chest

Will Keri ever retrieve her lost humanity?

Will she ever love again?
