Hey.

So I saw that Bea put this up on Facebook, and I just wanted to put it up here too, so I wouldn't lose track of it.

Tonight I Can Write the most Liberating Lines

Tonight I can write the most liberating lines.
Write, for example, ‘Her life is finally free
From the cold, thin hands that suffocated her.’
The girl struggles still, but she does not forget.
Tonight I can write the most liberating lines.
No longer does she wake up finding her life
Is in complete ruins.
She has done it, broken free from her keeper.
It took twenty for months, oh twenty four long months,
But alas, she’s made it through the storm.
When she falls asleep at night, the mind still
Wanders, ‘what could I of done if I kept my personal hell?
Would it be worth it?’ yet, the young girl always knows the answer

Tonight I can write the most liberating lines.
To think that this is over.
To know that it’s not.
She’s come a long way, down a road
Of destruction.
And finally her soul brings her
Up.
But there are still years and years ahead of her.
What does her past matter?
It only counts that
Right now, she feels in power.
Right now, this girl feels
She can and will beat this.
A new thought, she has
Never felt this way before.
And that is ever so liberating.
Yet, this is not all of her tale.
She’s tired now, from the
Long steps she has taken through the storm.
The eye of the storm is still far, far away
But her soul knows she can reach it in time.
So tonight, as I write these lines, I tell you
I have never felt freer in my life.
