Heroine: A tale of peace by piece

You wouldn't know it if you saw her. 
- The stuff of heroes and heroines -
In every step.
In every smile. 
Behind those eyes
The war is raging 
This battle came 
with a life. 

You wouldn't know it if you heard her
lilting song, a voice of peace. 
By piece she fights. 

You wouldn't know it if you joined her
The dance she walks. 

You wouldn't know it if you sensed her 
- humanity in her plight. 
This girl was sent to triumph 
Never to go softly into the night.

Love this poem... Love the job Xtra position and contrast of what the weakness and softness you see and expect
Compared to what is the inner strength and bravery
