Chatter starts 

She just walked in 

Laughter and whispers create a melody of anger 

She tries to ignore 

As soon as she walked through the door 

Her guard begins to rise 

The army shoots 

Names 

Insults 

She runs for cover 

She's alone 

No Defense 

She begins to defend herself 

She fights back 

No one can accept 

Who she is 

Rumors tell her story 

Not the truth 

The soldiers begin to charge 

More gathered 

The army gets stronger 

She can't take this any longer 

Nowhere to hide

She calls or backup

No one comes to fight 

They are all on the other side 

The world has turned against her 

Will they kill her? 

Her pride 

Her soul 
Her Confidence 

Maybe her self esteem

or 

Does she just stop 

Let the wolves feast 

She can't see the beauty in the beast 

She already lost so much 

What more can she lose 

She refuses to give up 

But shes had enough 

She wants to give up 

But not without a fight
