She Goes it Alone
She goes it alone. No ounce of fear
No one behind her, nary a peer
The road ahead shows no reprieve
All signs forward read, “You need to leave”
But she carries on despite the omens
Leaving behind her lucky tokens
She’s doing it herself, this is a must
Proving to herself she’s worth the fuss
Nothing special ‘bout it, no fancy mods
Just determination and forgettin' the odds
After all the stumbles, the end it nears
Squashing the remainder of what’s left of her fear
The sweat’s in her eyes
But she sees the prize
Taking deep breaths, she lengthens her strides
Disregards the incredible pain
And reflects on where she came
Standing at the top, the joy, it hits her
This day of her life, she’s of the victors
The journey she’s on is far from finished
But she’s ready for the trials, hope undiminished
