the empty space,
stared back at her,
she weeped alone,
with the company of misery.
she cried to the world,
a lonesome call.
she looks at the sky,
high above her head.
the sky seems to pull away.
from her eye sight, completely disarray.
she stretched her hand,
to reach for the clouds.
or maybe the blue sky to grasp
and entwine in for the moment.
she wishes it could wrap,
wrap around her like a blanket.
keep her safe and warm,
keep her smiling for a while.
she reached higher and higher.
and got up from the ground.
and realise with amaze,
she stood up once again.
her spirits soaring,
a sheer determination.
she grins from ear to ear,
and told the world she’d stay.
she reached her destination,
the place she dreamed all her life to be.
she could smell the roses,
filling her life with sense.
the warmth of the sun,
hugging her body and soul.
the girl reached her goal.
she could smile again.
the girl got back to her feet.
and the girl was me.
`by que.
