"A person often meets their destiny, on the path they took to avoid it"



She didn't exist before she was six
No God
No Santa
No birthday gifts..

I suppose it didn't matter
She had no social security card
Or 
Shoes to wear
And chopped off hair..

I think it mattered more
That she had no mama
To explain to her
That life wasn't very fair.. 

Or
All the "various mothers"
Who let all her "various fathers"
Take her off alone

And when they were done
Left her emotionless and raw
Her heart weighted down
Like a heavy stone..

Yet, a Heavenly Spirit 
And Earth Angels abound
Lifted her up
And tore off her bindings
That left her to drown..

She became a person
That not only existed..

But a woman 
Who lives
And loves
And laughs with her children..

Her friends 
Her loves
Her angels
Her God..

Broke her free 
From a cycle
She didn't pass on..

Darkness turned to light
And broke through 
A seemingly never-ending night..

And now
Not only is she free..

But can gift her life
To those in the dark
Who
Cannot find their light
So that they too
Can see
The path
That can also
Set them free..
