Wonder Woman

Holding the weight of the world on her shoulders

To stare in the eyes of danger which is colder

Than the North Pole

That’s what many are told

But only she can conjure up enough energy

Bold.

She is

To take everyone’s problems

And have everyone’s back

And never see her break a sweat

Never has she cracked

It’s hard to adhere to others

When deep inside you are slowly being smothered

Scared of being discovered

For her true weakness.

She takes her pen and paper to proceed

To escape reality

When writing it feels like she is defying the laws of gravity

Scientifically speaking she is no Einstein but

She has the ability to know what is on someone’s mind

But she can not explain her own

Her powers have over grown.

People are her weakness,her kryptonite that allows her facial features to absorb the tears

in which her eyes produce

that will eventually take years away from her youth.

However, she can not allow that to be shown.

So she displays her feelings through poetry to make this weakness known.

Ammunition

The ammunition for my ambition is the definition of what I am soon to be.

Living life with prosperity

And my smile will last days; longevity

And the boy I love will marry me

What’s just a dream

Will soon be reality

Sitting in my therapist chair

Fighting the inner child in me

That wants to come out and scream “mommy I did it”

But the new found adult in me tells me to quit it

I cant believe with work my dreams are coming true

Ambition is what I have

And goals I am perspiring too

Keep on track like the little engine that could

My engine runs on determination

No coal, fire or wood

I can not allow myself to digress when im being pressed

I just look up to the Lord and I know its only a test

Of my faith to see how strong, I can last

And how long I can hold on
