I hope
Somewhere among the wreckage
She can find herself
Buried under all the self doubt
Scattered around
Entangled in fear
I hope she’s there
Listening
And praying
And moving
Not just sitting
And waiting for the wind to carry her
I hope she flies without wings
Steps out on faith
Or the lack thereof
Taking chances or surviving
It really doesn’t matter
All that matters is that she moves
Keeps going
That she hears her footsteps
And they’re faster than her heartbeat
Run.
And never look back…
