Maria Learned....

Maria learned to dance,
Her energy unused.
She grooved to the chance,
Her body she loosed.

Maria learned to sing,
Her voice silenced.
She screamed to the ring,
Her throat got tensed.

Maria learned to draw,
Her hands all sliced.
She scribbled it raw,
Her option got diced.

Maria learned to write,
Her words scrambled.
Her flow was right,
But her thoughts tumbled.

Maria learned to act,
Her posture controlled.
Puppet of the fact,
With her story untold.

Maria learned to quit,
Her mind all healed.
New tale made-to-fit,
For her true purpose gone sealed.
