Into The Fire
FleetusMcGee posted in The F*-Word
A girl, strong in spirit
just floating through life.
She walked along a path;
it was not hers,
but she chose where it went.
She considered herself and individual,
and only cared a little what others thought.
One day on this path
she stumbled upon a thorned vine,
and the girl fell hard.
From the ground, with dirt in her eyes,
she could finally see clearly:
With new sight, from a different perspective,
everything changed.
She realized,
with shock and horror,
that it was not her life
she had been living,
but simply the easiest path.
Instead of the strong unique person
she thought she was,
the girl had been a sheep,
following whoever led her.
It was now clear her world
needed to be different,
or she would be lost.
The girl had to create her own
trail, from nothing at all,
but was for who she truly was.
She had to step away
from safety, from simplicity,
and fight for
all that mattered.
She leapt
into the fire
of resistance.
