Stuck
Physically and mentally
She cried out for help

Inside and out

Something that had been evading her very dreams
Dreams that only consisted of the horrors of the past
Dreams that only consisted of the dark
But now
She saw the light
Bright and shining
Beckoning her forward
Sparking inside her the motivation she used to once have
With determination, she stepped forward
One step at a time
Slow and steady, she started on her journey
Her broken wings
Discarded
She was proud of who she was
A flightless bird in flight...
