-----
She could not be broken.
After so much death, pain, and loss,
She still stood firm.
She could not be broken.
Her father died, her mother followed.
She wept, but did not break.
She could not be broken.
Theodred passed into shadow; Théoden was trapped in darkness.
She cursed the darkness, but did not give up.
She could not be broken.
Her brother deserted her, and she was left behind.
She felt her cage enclose about her, but she did not give in.
She could not be broken.
Theoden fell, and her body was wounded.
She bled and mourned, but she did not let go of life.
She could not be broken.
She gave her heart to one man, only to find it rejected.
Her heart was sorrowed but she did not but she did not fall into despair.
She could not be broken.
But throughout years of utter tragedy, though all said it was not impossible to stand
She did not break.
