I don't know where this poem came from I just started writing and there it was. Please review so I can see what
you think.


~The Girl's Got Guts...~
She has to fight
everyday of her life
just to make it to the next.
Being truly happy
is not a given anymore.
The only way
that would have ever happened,
was if she had him.
No strings.
No curses.
Just him.
But she doesn't,
and she never will again.
She has been burned
so many times,
had her feet kicked out from under her so often,
that it is a wonder she hasn't lost it completely.
She knows what is out there
lurking in the shadows
just out of sight.
She has seen it all,
done it all,
and been hurt even more.
Hell, she even died once.
And every time
things start to go good,
every time she gets ahead,
she gets kicked in the teeth.
Gets her heart ripped out
and held up for all to see.
Her friends and family
delude themselves into thinking
that she could ever have
a normal life,
that she's gonna live forever.
She knows better.
She's gonna die young,
and it probably won't be pretty.
And nobody cares what she thinks about it.
No one wonders
what she wanted to be
when she was little.
All that matters to them
is what she is......
The Slayer.
She takes everything
that's thrown at her,
and throws it right back.
She still fights
even though she knows
eventually she'll lose.
And that's the thing.
No matter how hard she fights.
How many times she wins.
It won't matter,
cause she's still gonna die.
But you know what?
She'll never quit,
never give up.
Cause the girls got guts.
