With great spirit
She fought the world
Thought against her
Yet the world was indifferent
When she left

Inspired by news this morning that one of my young female students didn’t come home last night and was seen drunk posting on Instagram. Her name is connected with the poem’s title.
Like all my troublesome students, she reminds me of myself at that age. We fail to see that others want to help us and believe that we know better.
I hope she is safe and that the title doesn’t become a reality.
