She has kept her heart  
The one that has held her pain  
The one she has had for so long  
Her mind aches  
Her soul sickens  
And her heart grows worse  
She feels she is cursed  
But somehow she manages all the suffering  
All of it but how?  
She has learned  
Learned to deal with what’s coming  
And that the past is the past  
She knows that she will always be hurt  
Too stubborn to open up her mind, soul, and heart  
No matter how tough life gets to her  
She always gets through  
Always mentally strong  
But physically weak
