Her Own Hero, A Poem

Written by Meetra Alokozay

She was falling apart,
Pieces of her soul
Shattering on the ground.

More than ever,
She needed protection.

She craved for a pair of caring hands,
Some love, some comfort.

With her heart lost in chaos,
She knew nobody could save her,
But herself.

She kept her head high,
And started putting herself back together.

That is how she became her own hero,
Her own savior,
And a strong warrior.
