Fortitude

A revolation that takes place
within the depths of her soul
never siezes recognition
once she grasps the threads
to which it holds

I told her as she whispered
"all in all, I feel bewildered"
you must not step aside,
stand impervious to all
that fears you
let the strength of your mind
luminize
 
Rise up from calignosity
take your place in the light 
notice everyone stands 'round you
to admire, 
your new found dignity
