Make a Stand

It's not her,
But it's them,
For now, she can't do anything.
Just patience & keep things hidden.


still so many unresolved issues,
to others & to herself.
She needs to take the risk,
a giant step, to conquer, to cease.

Because it's not running away,
But protecting people who stayed.
she's not against everyone,
Not hiding, just in need of healing.

It wasn't just about her, after all.
But about everything that made her fall.
So they should understand,
that soon enough, it's her time to make a Stand.
