Shadows in the Sun

She is one

The ache

no mistake

longing to be seen

what does that mean?

Beauty fading

feeling jaded

Scattered crumbs

What has she has she become?

She knows

she is the only one

that can fill that space

she will not be erased.

Feeling different from the world

yet the same

who to blame?

Maybe she will be seen

and they won’t be mean

it will be ok

and not run away

The woman she has become

shadows in the shining sun

and the little girl inside

you no longer have to hide
