She Walked

She walked with stones tied to her feet.
She tried to run,to keep up.
She succeed.
She ran again with even bigger stones tied to her feet.
But She fell down, crushed and bruised this time.
She told herself to stand up and tried to run again but she fell down again. She had been falling since then.
But this time it hurt more because she had tasted victory once.
