you make up rules
and expect her to follow,
but she is most striking
untamed
unfiltered
untethered
you try to hold her back
but, she moves through
the darkest nights
with courage
with power
with faith
you don’t understand her,
the way she shines
even when hope is scarce
you want to control her
…but, she is a woman
who knows her own strength
