Literature
Finding Her
Finding Her
Speaking with force
which has filled
a life few would
understand or believe,
grabbing an ear
when possible,
to halt the intense pain
that takes her
to a dark place,
traps her in time
until a nudge
brings her back
to face the day.
In this reality
she accepts choices
that have brought her
to this place,
where she stands
in silence,
until a time when
she can scream.
Is the proof on
the pages of a book,
or in the lines on her face
where her smile
hides a frown?
Unguarded,
thinking of her days,
joys keep her from
crossing to despair.
