She sits.

She stares out the window, wondering how time has passed by so quickly.

She can’t get that time back and she can’t change what happened.

Oh, how she wish she could.

She releases control.

She lets go of what once was.

Memories, moments, regret, pain, and dreams she once had.

She sits.

She stares out the window, wondering how time has passed by so quickly.

She can’t get that time back and she can’t change what happened.

She realizes her powerlessness.

She is soft towards her brokeness.

She shows herself kindness.

She inhales peace. It’s something she fought so hard for.

She exhales and she begins letting go.

She sits.

She stares out the window.

Her body eases and she tastes stillness for the first time.
