Her Secret Power
1 min readJan 19, 2020
She had a command of the language,
her power over it was unwavering.
She surprised it with her demands
to make it misbehave
bending it to her will.
She bore no compromise
as she forced her being into
the words that had no choice
but to submit
cracking beneath the weight
of her determination to make
the language say what she meant
and not the limits the language put on her.
