Timeline

the timeline of a girl who was born in the mountains

She starts her life as a fresh innocent soul

Brighter than the morning sun

Her smile brought warmth amidst the cold

Her locks, a fiery gold

Her eyes, the bore a picture of heaven's dreams

She was blessed, she was a dream.

She starts to grow, her beauty drips

Soaking the barren land of the hills

The mountains, which once stood with pride

It seems as if they try to hide

Their defeated faces with the snow

But it is from them she finds her strength

As she works all day and night

For a penny or two to help her thrive.

She is now a complete woman

A beauty worth staring at

She gives nature a new meaning

As she gifts the flowers with fragrance and beauty

And some hopeless eyes, as if in a trance, stare

Wishing one day she would be theirs

But some eyes roll down too low

As their imagination drifts to something dark

A seizure if innocence, they blow her spark.

One day she belongs to someone else

She is still beautiful, but her vibrancy long gone

She is something with which he plays

Like a rag doll or a puppet made of clay

No one to heal the bruises in her heart

She is a piece of meat that knows to give birth

The little birds, whom she raises with a love so deep, soon flies

And he dies

All alone, she is left behind.

She goes back to the hills

Where she spent days so full of hope

The mountains no longer give her strength

They just stare at her, cold 

She is growing old

She sits alone in a rusty armchair

The wrinkles have now started to appear

Her glasses are broken, no one to fix it

Like no one was there to fix her heart.

The clock strikes on, as she waits for Death

She slowly breathes her last breath

But comes for her, her beautiful past

The innocent child, the vibrant teen and the beautiful woman

And together they walk hand in hand

Away to a far-off land

Where she is human, she is woman, she has her rights

Where she is something she wanted to be her whole life.

This is a nice piece of writing with some good feminism sub-texts. Very interesting, love the line "The innocent child, the vibrant teen and the beautiful woman"

I feel like this happens to many women, in the past, currently, and sadly alas, awaits some in the future.

this felt very fairy-tale like, you know, except prince charming was more like the bad guy and a little less... charming. The timeline idea was great, excellent job!
