One Day

by Amber   May 11, 2005


One day she awakes:
impoverished, cold, alone.

One day she awakes: in pain, in agony, in her own personal hell.

One day she awakes: belittled, bewildered, confused.

One day she awakes: eyes open, wings spread, empowered.

No more she thinks.

No more she says.

No more she screams.

One day she walks: she runs, she dances, she finally smiles.

No more she demands, no more looking back, no more listening to the voice that tore her wings.
