finding peace.

as she pushes through every ounce of fear and
doubt,
she runs.
she runs not away from any particular
thing
or toward anything new
she is simply running
and while she makes these changes in
her physical self
she works to adjusts her mind
in slight but significant ways in order
to judge those in their struggles and journeys,
a bit less.
these changes bring about new awareness
in her spiritual sphere
and she finds new meaning
in being in the company of others.

she can breathe.
she can listen.
she can run.
she can hope.
she can speak.
she can think.
these are things which make her
the best sort of self.

that which she is happy to be.
