Marcella#4

Her position in life is clear and direct
Yet at times she is depressed
What of past experiences and goals not achieved
For future ones, would not she heed


She truly has an amazing capacity to understand and express
Nevertheless she cannot complain about lack of access
She sometimes feels lethargic
As to say that expression dwells in the Arctic


Optimism is a strong ally of hers
Venting away all the smog and curs
Needless now is the drink
For the achievement must not be in the brink
