And for a long time she turned her sorrow
and sadness into hatred like armor to protect her
from feeling the pain.
Only after realizing the hatred inside was not armor
but a sword stabbing herself,
causing herself more pain, did she allow her heart
to ache, to bleed, and her tears to shed...
And after time, she was able to release herself
from the anguish inside, to no longer feel the stabbing
Of the sword or the need for a shield...
Instead she turned to grace
and begged her to guide her
to feel something else...
Grace answered her prayers.
And she felt
something new...
Hope!!
She is coming back to a new life;
One in which she will thrive with
the blood of her female ancestors
running through her veins and the spirit
of all women supporting her soul.
