stranger, continued.

for once, his swift limbs
wouldn't carry her fast enough.

heart pumping frantically
her uncontrollable rage fuelled her spirit
the cold air no longer seared her skin
pure anger turned her blood
hot, burning, scalding
she needed to scream
but she feared her most
buried secrets would leap out
off her tongue and into the
looking girl's ears.

how dare she?
stare with her cruel, judgemental eyes
mocking her, laughing at her
she was the one who should be laughing
she, who kept her emotions safely
away from the scathing world
at she who displayed her inner thoughts
like that of an open book!

tempted to give in
to surrender to the weak human's
misguiding embrace
no, she was stronger
she knew better
liars, cheats, all of them
out for mere personal gain
none of them could she ever trust
just as well that she didn't need their
pathetic, useless help.

his hooves churned up the ground
beneath them
she thrust the reins away from her
spread arms wide
head thrown back
long, deep gulps of air

she could do anything
be anything
be everything
nothing, no-one could stop her
a fool she once was
trusting, caring, believing
now, a fortress
above the ones who had hurt her

untouchable.
unbeatable.
