I just had to to hope on the band wagon with all these picture/poetry things going on... so here's one I did. Now it seems pretty cliche to almost everything I write, but well damnit... I tried to think of exactly what I felt when I saw the picture developed, and here it is.

it will surely fly away,instead

She has the look of one who is resigned to a situation she doesn't like and is powerless to change. Yet I sense she will move forward, to acceptance, and beyond, to forgiveness and understanding.
