Woman: Within

She found not

happiness in a man’s bed

but in hers.

In the warmth of her hugs

and heartfelt whispers

only she knew

to listen for.

She found beauty in her imperfection

and comfort in this acceptance.

She found happiness in her pain

and confidence

she’ll always be here

for her.

The pain is all gone

no longer scared

she sleeps in the dark

wrapped in the warm cuddles of her arms.
