Wonder Woman wandered wide
Wondering why
When around others, she could be so wise and witty
But alone by herself, she'd sometimes wallow in self pity
Emotions wrung, even physically weary
Worn but still withstanding
Because for her, there could be no teary
Relief
Why, she was Wonder Woman!
*Well, at least, that was the general consensus belief*
And, daily, she endeavored to convince herself too
But it was hard work striving to constantly infuse and imbue
Those same WONDROUS qualities into herself
When, inwardly, she strove to place such wares on a high shelf
Far away out of the reach of that hated nemesis called "Weak"
All the while, wishing to be granted
Gift-wrapped WONDERS, she'd secretly yearn for and seek
To untie
Revealing the very joys she'd mentally wasted or waived
*Why, all eyes were on her!*
The whole world waited with rapt attention to withold how she'd behave
In any given situation
But hers was the soul lying in wretched incubation
Withering
Weighed with whirling woes
Whipped by the walloping weapons and whittling warfare her life wields
Long overwhelmed by the vicious, pursuing wolves her life yields
Wrung from the heavy blows and hidden welts
And, as always, even any wispy hope, vanishes, verily, melts
Imprisoned by an internal, ubiquitous warden
Alternately, waxing without in wishful whimsy
Yet, waning within from wrecked wishes
Wanting some kind of even brief warranty
On peace and happiness or, at least, contentment
But, she was Wonder Woman!
So, for her, it was always another's welfare
And not her own
That was important
Yes, she was Wonder Woman
But, sadly, SHE didn't believe, by part and whole, that she was, indeed, WONDROUS...
 
Ummmm...
