 the people tried 

to condition her
to be able to define
who she was
but nobody could
she adamantly refused
for she belonged 
to no one
so they left her there
naked, untouched
misunderstood by everyone
then, she picked up
some leaves and broken twigs
inscribed in them
the most beautiful words
to clothe her soul with
started to fashion 
her own beliefs
sewn herself with speech
that reflect
who she truly is
affirmations, she felt them
new beliefs, she lived them
chaos and confusion
she left them
gave up living
the comparted ideas
of who she was
courageously surrendering
to the harmony
interweaving herself 
better self concepts, thus-
uplifting her self worth
as her garden
slowly transforms
to be her own respite
her place of calm
now having strength 
and intelligence, she knew
she is both the awareness
and the inner voice
that is serenely sitting,
resting at the eye
of the storm.

A beautiful tapestry, and I'm not talking about the image. Can't help thinking that is a little bit of self-analysis. One of your best.

The power and beauty of words can definitely do remarkable things, as you nobly suggest in this fine poem. As you wrote, "sewn herself with speech that reflect who she truly is." Indeed, what do poets have but words with heart-felt meaning.

The "eye of the storm" gives full meaning to this exploration in 3rd person (3rd person allows for much more identity for your readers and avoids giving the impression of victimization). The stream of individual experiences/images builds for full understanding by the reader of such a person. Few who suffer such rejection because they are particular with their choices ever realize the victory that is there for the realizing... such as your protagonist does here. Well done.

Wired by a calling and electrified by a transmission of greatness, the aural seeded revelation, and the soul who revived the plan, the kindred spirit who cherishes the ground you walk upon in your many years of awakening to the beat of your own drum. Intelligence bound from the day you were born, our secret rocks the cradle. Yes, the people tried...
