There was
the before
the after
what she
was
NOT
prepared for
was
The powerful
person she
would
become
because
of it.
She looked
Looked into
the mirror
all that
she saw
was
sheer terror.
she was
Stripped
of her
dignity.
What she
did
not
know
was this
who she
was meant
to be
where
she was
meant
to be
the person
who was
Tenacious
who persevered
Who
neared death
and yet
she feared
nothing.
