Remember that day

everyone believed you

I’m done with the drama

or was it just drama?

There were moments you were

confused, accused, nearly well,

quite probably,

verbally abused.

And then I watched you rise

your spirit came alive

you became a passionate young woman

who believed she could arise

to any occasion placed before her.

I watched you steal the stage

after weeks of fearing that moment.

A picture worth a thousand words

your smile,

your embodiment of a sprite

dashing across the illusion of a forest

fighting for your life

in the midst of shadows and demons

leaving them all behind

Travel on with light steps

dance because you can

I know, you know and everyone around you

knows and loves that you can!
