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…
