It finally happened.
She finally saw who she was.
After all the heartache, the pain, the ridicule.
She finally decided enough was enough.
She looked at life in a different light.
She started to like her self a little more.
Smile a little more.
Shrug off the hate a little more.
& let go of her past that haunted her day & night.
The past that told her who she was.
The past that kept her from her dreams.
& kept to her demons.
The past that told her who she was.
She was letting go of it all.
The lies that people put on her.
The crippling fear that bound her.
The self hatred that infused her mind.
The hurt of those who used her.
Bruised her & misunderstood her spark.
She finally gave it all up.
She finally saw who she was for what she was.
A window may open with some little cracks of pain.
But she has slammed the devils door back.
She looked in the mirror & saw a girl.
A girl that was innocent.
A girl that was not wounded by the world around her.
A girl that was sure of herself & who she belonged too.
& from time to time she feels afraid.
From time to time she may look back at what was.
But she knew that it was all over now.
She no longer let people steal away the path that was set before her.
She no longer felt abandoned.
She was loved.
She was cherished.
She let the wind blow it all away.
& now when the storms come crashing in.
All she does is sing.
She was a warrior. Not a worrier.
