A Path She Didn’t Choose

Driven from the derivative of truth, she let it all fall as if it was predetermined discontent.

A path she didn’t choose, but a path she was destined for, a path she doesn’t want, but one she can’t ignore.

Thrust upon her, with no way out but through.

Acceptance is all that’s left, so acceptance becomes her truth.

She stopped struggling against her pain and made it her friend, she stopped running from the darkness and found beauty in its depths.

Stuck in this place, this place of in-between, this place of hurt and learning and a feeling of an unshakeable fate.

All at once, her world comes into focus – and suddenly, she sees the path forward. Her world is overwhelming, another thing to be overcome. It’s time to deal with what that damage has done…

It’s too loud and too quiet, too big and too small, too slow and too fast, but she can move past it all. She knows this won’t last, but nevertheless, these all at the same time pull her a few steps back. 

Steps back do not deter her, she has grown too strong for that,she is much too strong to be pushed off track. She knows who she is, and what she has to do, she pushes through the pain, and past the memory of you.

There is a rare beauty that she keeps hidden away, one very few are privileged enough to say,”I have seen her heart, her soul, and her mind. I’ve seen her for who she is, and you didn’t dim her light .” To see her pain is a thing to be earned. For to see her, in her true and most authentic form, is a sight from the heavens, not one for the forlorn.

She is one of a kind, a needle in a haystack. An unparalleled beauty with uniqueness unmatched. Like a snowflake from a storm, never another quite like it. I really hope you’re ready, because no longer will she stay quiet. 

She lived this your way and now she is grown, she has learned from her pain, and what your tactics have done. 

She is a force to be reckoned with, a thing you should fear. Your manipulation didn’t work; you made her stronger my dear. 

You tried to make her small, but you only made her grow. 

You wanted her to disappear, but it’s too late for that now. You thought making her silent would protect who you are, would aid to protect the pain that you caused. That’s not how this works, it’s her silence that should scare you.

You hate the quite but that is so wrong, it is her comfort in silence now that makes her so strong. You may not know it yet, but it makes the loudest noise, this woman will be heard throughout space and time.

So, hide in the hollows, valleys, or peaks. You can’t escape this time; she’s finally made peace. 

Made peace with not needing you, with who you truly are, with what you became, with the damage you did to her heart. 

Her resilience is astounding, no thanks to you. Just know she is loudest now, in her solitude and it is her silence that will bring down your roof. Collapse your walls and your home. The same things you did to her while she was so small. 

You didn’t break her, although you tried, she’s too big for that now.

Sorry my boy.
