who is she

that calls to me

in the middle of the night

in the midst of my dreams

that voice I hear

the songs she sings

asking me to consider

what if she was there all along

and I just wasn’t listening

wasn’t looking

wasn’t strong enough

but she was always there

patient and kind

in the back of my mind

waiting 

for the day that i

would finally

finally

set her free

“The Her Within Me”
