She tried to bend the world and break it

But it didn't change

It wasn't built that way

She bled the colours from the night sky and turned to gray

Where she did lay

Behind the barricades a child

cried for no one

Behind her eyes there was a flame

that burned for no one loving no one

She was alone inside and empty

She tried to feel

It didn't seem real to her

She took a breath and felt the fire

She had to change

She wasn't built this way

And when the colours got too bright

She closed her eyes

and when they opened

Deep inside there was a smile

and a promise

still unbroken

still unbroken

I love this poem, it seems to be about a woman, capable of much love and passion who finally finds a way to embrace who she really is. Beautiful work, Edwin.

I'm sure there's some deep meaning here that only you know. I cannot interpret what you are writing and will not venture a guess.
