She sat there
feeling completely alone
and sorry for herself
listening to the silence.
it swallowed her whole.
she shouldve been afraid
but surprisingly she wasnt.
she wiped her tear stained cheeks
and inhaled deeply.
she vowed not to fear the unknown
starting today she would embrace it.
there was nobody except her now
she was lonely yet determined
and it finally dawned on her
every ending yields a new beginning
and things would get better.
maybe not immediately, but someday
the uncertainty wasnt disheartening
it was her beacon in the darkness
she was closing the door to the past
for good this time.
so she picked herself up off the floor
to set forth on a new path
with a glimmer of hope in her eye
that would carry her through
until she could once again trust in herself
