she
lost in thought

her goal
merely
a daydream away
remaining true
to her vision
future focusing

while
trivial frustrations
slip through fingertips

no longer grasping at straws
solutions
spinning in her head
waiting patiently
to reveal
the scheme

there

sometimes
you need to

take a step back

don’t overreact
don’t make assumptions
don’t jump conclusions

take a step back
reflect on the whole
the beauty
the serenity
that surrounds

don’t second guess
what the future might hold
unless you’ve passed
the soothsayer test

there was no detection
of disillusionment
her image
concealed a collection
of rejections

an invisible wall of protection
like a suit of sheathing armor
shielding from injury

her heart
only taking so much
in disappointment

she a work
of complexities
views her imperfections
as
