Suddenly, this is the moment.
When all is quiet and nothing is yelling
since there’s nothing that needs my thoughts–
I look and see, really see
what I have done.
It’s taken me this long but
I’ve shaken the dust,
I’ve become what that little girl hoped for.
I’ve walked in bravery,
danced through fear
to be here–
a dream I created with my two hands
and my fighting heart.
