The Light

I have come to a place
That heals and restores me
Inside and out
It has much to teach

Go inside, go inside
The slow whisper says
You are the
one you've been waiting for

Inside, where it is quiet
Inside, where the chatter ends
Only if you want it
You can stop it

A local woman
Spews her nasties
Hurts and controls
She's unhappy inside

Wait, go now
Inside is where
You work
Always

Let her
Be who and where
She is
Now.  Always.

The shield is there
Will you use it
Will you cower
The choice is yours

I have come to a place
That heals and restores me
Inside and out
I am the student.
