So, I finally managed to convey some of what I've been feeling. But it's only a rough draft. I'll update it later if I change any of it :)
Oh, It doesn't really have a title yet either...
The winds of change blow through her hair
A stone-set face, an unblinking stare
Her fingers curled, her fists clenched tight
She braces herself for another fight
Her future waits, as bright day
But fear grabs hold and she looks away
The good, the bad, all rolled into one
Not sure what will happen, not sure what's to come
She takes a breath and looks ahead
It's time to step forward, away from the dead
For it's life that's waiting in the things to come
Her dreams, her story, if only she'll run
A driving passion, a hesitant fear
An ardent Savior standing near
Her future, an ocean, tossing with depth
With a pounding heart, she steps
