Olay!

If ever there was a day
I didn't whine
Or complain away
I would say
I'd found a gold mine
And shout - Olay!

Our Secret

The voice inside her head
Screamed
Just two words...
Tormented 
By the shrillness
Of the screech
Alarmed
By its proximity
Down
She fell
On her knees
Hands over her ears
Eyes shut tight
Her lips muttered
The same phrases 
Over and over 
Again and again
"Chaos of my mind
Be still,
Be kind.
Kindle not
These wicks
Of another mind."
Her sight blurred 
Tears her did overwhelm
Her hearing rang
From thunderous booms
Of these very same words
She never spoke
The feeling of 
That frigid touch
Which made her skin crawl
The darkness
Wove
Its shiny black strands
Through her aura
Like a succubus
Drained all.
All the joy,
All the strength
And most of all
All the innocence.

Her body left limp
Without power
Yet her will,
Her Will
To survive
Took her higher,
Higher 
Than the highest tower.
The air
Trapped
In her lungs
Burst forth
In one glorious breath
She emptied it all.

"Our SECRET
This is no more,
I will not quit
And you Will Destroy not
My inner CORE!"

She reveled 
In victory
And in light
One Star above
In particular
Beamed
With unparalleled might.

For each drop 
She had shed 
Blood and sweat
She realized
Life ended not 
Just yet.
