As A Child

As a child she sits with the women.
As a woman she sits with the children.
Undefined as a person in general,
She stifles emotions unsurfaced.

Her tears are for those whom she loves,
Her tears are the fears of her loves.
When the light finally shines for her glory,
The child will merge with the woman
And peace in her being be filled.
