Release

Salute the woman with her bags packed tight
Brave is her search, and strong is her fight.
The reason to flee, overpowers the stay
She’s no longer afraid of the running away.
Keys sit clasped in sweat drenched palms
The call to glory her body demands.
5 years ago hope was dangled and dared
Now in the distance she’s no longer scared.
Salute to the woman who helped her break free
Brave is the human she’ll turn out to be.
