The steady rain drenched her,
sweet drops mixed with
her salty, hot tears…was
she still even crying?
She had suppressed her feelings
her entire life…her despair,
her disappointment, her
humiliation and anger.
Even smiles and joy
had been tempered with
reservation and uncertainty.
Tonight, a flood of emotions
Came like the rain, unstoppable.
A strength she didn’t know she
possessed, a power from within
took a firm grasp and she finally
Gave them a voice before
she turned and walked out the
door. “No, you can’t hurt me
any longer. I won’t allow it.”
