She Wears The Mark..

JENNA---for my sister

She.
She wears the mark.
Battered and bruised,
Lost and alone,
She wears the mark.
A promise never to be broken,
lay shattered beneath her feet.
Legs lose their strength and she slowly melts to the floor.
Shattered.
she picks up a single piece of her broken world,
and sinks further into the floor.
The crystal tears fall down her sweet face,
Never have I seen tears shed in such despair.
Never have I seen life so unkind,
Never....
Never...
She wears the mark.
She is beauty.
Fierce on the outside
Ever so delicate on the inside.
The proud sister I have known all my life lay pleading, begging...
"Please wake up....Please wake up..."
She is captivating.
Though she,
in her darkest moments,
remains astoundingly beautiful.
She wears the mark.
She is pushed to the wall,
past her limit.

"Fight, this will not break you",

One thing life didn't plan on...
This woman has never lost.
She can't be beaten.
Her heart begins to pound,
the fire within her begins to burn,
She is alive and fierce.
She is on her feet,
the glass dissolves to dust beneath her.
In the shimmer of the sunlight,
Her scars are only visible for a moment...
Beaten, bruised, manipulated, attacked, scraped, clawed, pulled...
She knows the fight.
I thought these were the marks of a tortured life,
No...
I now see...
Those are the marks of a warrior.
She wears the mark.


You are a true warrior sister. An example to me. And my best friend.

I'm not done fighting....

You come with your teeth barred and ready to shred every part of me. Intent on destroying all I hold dear, Claws out, fangs hissing, you are here for blood. My blood.....

But there is a twist to this tale. Yes one you should know. For I came ready.

My claws are longer, my fangs uglier, and the only shredding that will be done is me against you.

Ill fight, I'll claw, I'll pull, I'll tear you limb from limb.

"IM NOT DONE FIGHTING!" I roar across the nation.

You can push claw, pull, and try to destroy me.........but I always get back up. Always.

SO take your step back, Ill never be done fighting.
