How

How do I write about
this journey...this climb

...These emotions that run
so high...

The need to escape...to reveal
the once hidden...

From girl to woman...

I stand and applaud the inner
child...

Abbreviate her journey...
transition with a tenacious smile...

She has created this world...
and received an insight to suffer
no more...

like an everlasting fragrance of a once 
adorned yet tortured rose...

she stands ever vigilant...
breathes this fragrance without
recourse...

her soft beauty mere typifies
the struggle others imposed...

I stand and applaud the inner child
for she chose to feel and grow...
