Unrest 

She stands there in the distance

Not knowing where to turn

Or even who to turn to so much tension

Who can she trust? 

Added pressure to much to handle

Holding on but slowly slipping

The weight is her’s alone to carry

No one else wants the burden

So many choices 

What should she choose?

She knows the decision can only be made

By the one carrying the load

Torn between getting rid of her problems 

And seeing it grow and strengthen

She thinks of its future

And the end of her teenage years

It can go either way

Then from nowhere

Carried by the cries of the wind

A voice whispers : it will be okay”

Rushes in, in abundance  

Comfort and Hope

Not able to explain it

But she knows it will be okay

Gently she places her hand 

Against her newly found light

Knowing her choice was right

Her baby grew in there

Her inspiration.
