she claimed the day
for herself
not willing to share
a moment or two
she claimed her space
surrounding herself
in comfort
not willing to share
she claimed a victory
beating the negativity
that haunted her daily
she succeeded to thrive
climbing out of a protective shell
she had dwelled in
for oh………. so very long
she became strong
others asked
…………… how
she smiled
she replied
i believed
……………. in me
This is going on my bedroom wall. I will read it every morning.
maybe I should put it in the bathroom?
Perhaps I will calligraphy it….
