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
