The words disperse,
and her heart rapidly beats;
as she reaches for the tallest branch.
~~~
It’s not that it is unknown,
it is that she realizes what she once dreamed about
became her present reality.
~~~
The touch, the unbroken promises,
and the assurance that they are whole.
She exhales, she hopes,
as she reaches for the tallest branch.
~~~
The denial that absorbs her insecurities,
she knows in her mind she will fall again,
what can reassure her?
Just herself, as she reaches for the tallest branch.
~~~
and the fear of freeing her patched up heart.
~~~
An apparition that signifies the start of a journey,
that is freeing her patched up heart.
After many failed attempts at healing damaged chapters.
What, if anything, is left for her to give?
~~~
An unfair question to herself.
~~~
It is this moment when she becomes aware,
that everything she is has never left
and the emotional beating was the wall she created.
~~~
What now?
~~~
She once looked in the mirror, in a dream, as an elder.
She faced fear, regret, everything she didn’t want to become.
It haunted her, until she set on to stop it from being her reality.
~~~
She lets go,
she opens up,
she loves again.
She reaches the tallest branch.
