She Found Herself Upon the Cliff
She stands alone upon the precipice
Reflecting, pondering the lowering sun
Realizing life’s lack of justice
And how hers has come undone
With unclear thought, on a whim
She had come to end it all
As all the blame, because of him
She pushed, closer to a fall
When, through the clouds, a ray of light
Like a hand, set to embrace
She felt warmth, upon this night
As it fell upon her face
Into the light, she gazed in awe
Her mind, it then came clear
From her life, she’d not withdraw
And hold each day so dear
Decisions made are hers alone
Her life, her actions taken
This she learned through light unknown
That life shan’t be forsaken
It was not he that made her choose
It was will and all she gave
But now she selects not to lose
And her life, to now save
So, now alone upon the cliff
She smiles, as strength comes through
For now her life was given lift
And hopes within, renewed
She steps then back, further away
The edge was drawn from sight
She cannot wait until break of day
And to each new glorious night
