She blinked...

She felt them well
She blinked, they dried
And she continued on
So no one could see her cry
But did they see right through her
Could they tell the mess that was wrought
Could they tell she was pretending
Pretending to be someone she was not
She felt like she was losing herself
She felt that all her hope was lost
But still she blinked and hitched a smile
To melt the frost around her heart
A day would pass and onto the next she'd go
One after another they went by so fast
She tried to sort through the confused mess
She tried to fight through all of these tests
How could she set out on her goals
When her will to fight was on a deadly slope
But try she would and try she did
To retain that hope even while it faded.
