She 2.0

While the moon now borrows from her tempered light,
No longer dazzled—she steadies the night.

Her gaze, once seeking, now softly sees through,
What fades, what stays, what is false, what is true.

Once a pilgrim, she wandered to feel she belonged,
Now she is home—where she stood all along.
Once a dreamer, she chased what slipped through her hands,
Now she becomes what her spirit commands.

She walks not for mystery, nor to be known,
But because she has claimed every inch as her own.
Not a maiden of wonder the world tries to name—
But a woman who outgrew the need for that frame.

She heals not by holding what isn’t her fight,
But by showing the wounded their own inner light.
No longer haunted by those who can’t see—
She lets them pass, and sets herself free.

She carries her joy like a flame that won’t plead,
No longer pouring from an endless need.
Peace is not scattered for all to receive—
It rests in her breath, in the life that she weaves.

More ash than before, yet brighter in hue,
Less of the fragile, more fiercely true.
With gold in her fractures and calm in her view,
Touching her heart, she whispers— “I carried me through.”
