For many years she attempted
to be the best she could be
But for whatever reason
she failed bitterly
Few things had gone well
more bad than good
Her life had never been
as she hoped it would
So she just gave up
preferring to be alone
With no expectations
no more failure would be known
Her animals her companions
no need for anything more
They alone will protect her
just like before
Free as the wind
but nowhere to go
Her solitary existance
is all she'll ever know
