it was a shift
imperceptable to anyone but her.
-the girl who always suffered
who always complained
who always tried to
fix
save
forget
forgive,
but who never thought of her
or maybe always had.
it was a shift
no one predicted
but many had hoped to see soon
that advice who always lingered
on everyone`s lips
those words that never stopped making sense
because they did.
it was a shift
even her wondered how
and when
and then she stopped and stared
it was real
it was now
so she had finally made it through on the other side
the side that doesn`t hurt when you say mum
or dad
or brother
or sister
but she knew
oh how she knew
that shift was not an end
it was but the first step
to something new
she knew now that the word hurt
will have new meanings
new ways
new names
and she felt joy
so she said well
let`s see how this is like!
