It’s hard to picture
The girl in the picture
In the mirror.
It’s funny
when she saw the world
She saw a challenge,
Where I see an obstacle course.
Overcome the challenge,
Survive the obstacles.
All the difference.
Different approach,
Different voice,
Different attack-
The difference between
Faith
And hope.
The chasm of one step.
Even though,
If I saw her injustice on the street,
I would consume it,
Holding her warm
Within my flame.
I know her to well though,
I sprouted out of her favorite
3 teddies in tutus shirt.
Up through her nightmares
And darkness reality.
She is six feet under-
My mind
I hope I can remember her,
that she feeds the garden of thought
Even if I have to dig her up
With pictures on old pages,
Because she is beautiful,
Because we are worth every chance
To overcome a challenge
