Her and Her

They dismiss the colorfulness of curiosity Shaming its beautiful individuality Shackled by confines of bounded paper Stories are manipulated as fact, and passed on for generations Confusion sets in as attacking inner voices Destroy their self worth Hiding behind illusions and confessionals They pray for forgiveness, or a way out Until one night from across the lawn their eyes met Vibrating emotions pulsed through every fiber of their body Standing still the earth waited patiently for someone to react Inching closer her nerves shook “She’s the one” a voice said And she was Illusions were replaced with reality And forgiveness was replaced with gratitude
