"Behind Her"
"BEHIND HER"
You fail to see the beauty behind her smile,
The courage behind her grief,
The strength behind her heartache,
The swag behind her character,
The triumphs behind her tragedies,
The setups behind her setbacks,
The freedom behind her opportunity,
The persistence behind her pain,
The forgiveness behind her forgets,
The peace behind his stupidity,
You fail to see the anger behind her silence.
