Breaking the Barriers

The blue eyes of hers wavering between choices,
Whether to stay or leave, accept or create
All thoughts lingering her mind about the over and done
Recollecting the abuses and rejections of the past
She got up sleeves folded, head held high,
Ran with daring determination,
Tracing the light of stars in the darkest night
With the hope of daylight.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
