Being a girl, was not so easy;
The only compliment she got, was "Pretty!"...
Why was her inner self not praised?
Since her face was not something she raised...
Her beauty lied in her words;
She was like a flower with whorls...
With every moment, she bloomed;
" Fortitude " was what she earned...
Why did only her looks have worth?
While "Brave!" was what she actually deserved...
