she defended herself with a ’shield'
protecting herself from the attacks
by none other than her loved ones
her chest hurt,
tears filled her eyes...
she unsheathed the ‘sword', finally
as it was a matter of her confidence
and her self respect that -
no one paid heed to.
she did what she could
until using the sword
was the only option left...
they wounded and defeated her even then -
and as she lay down her sword and shield
and fell down on her knees
she was in her most vulnerable state,
the attacks still continued -
they assaulted her with the sharp weapons
'selfish' 'short-tempered' 'egotistical'
they continued to slash her body and mind.
and she just closed her eyes,
as she knew all of it was for nothing...
she had lost the battle
and succumed to the wounds -
caused by her loved ones.
