The moment she stopped running
Running from the storm
Running from the beast
Inside her soul.
The moment she stopped
Struggling with the dark
Struggling with the chaos
The moment she stopped
And finally let the nightmare come.
She let the fear fill her lungs.
She let the regrets hit her hard.
She let the hurtful reality be with her.
It was that moment she said to herself
It is okay to stop.
It is okay to be here.
It is okay to be terrified
In the thick of the storm.
The moment she stopped
She found what she had been
Desperately looking for.
All along the truth was here
All along the truth was not lost.
The truth was just muffled in
The roar of her run.
