Epiphany

Sitting there, stressing about her next breakdown,
she realised she's not limited to this sad empty town,
she thought about all the battles she had fought,
realized she was capable of more than she thought,

She lost a lot, but still had more than enough,
she had strength, patience, her skin was tough,
friends and family who always had her back,
she had survived every single petty attack,

She had beautiful friends who brightened her days,
friends who made her smile with genuine praise,
and when she needed them, they were always there,
the kind of friendship that was precious and rare,

She realised she didn't need a partner or a lover,
there are more interesting things in life to discover,
and many great things for her to work for and achieve,
she learned that she still has a few tricks up her sleeve,

So maybe the journey was not always a smooth ride,
and maybe there is still some more pain left inside,
perhaps even a few more tears she might shed,
but she now knows there is a bright future ahead.
