She stood naked in the doorway looking in the full length mirror.
She was broken inside but still in one piece.
That must have meant for something. She looked up and said I forgive you out loud.
At the time she didn’t know if she was talking to herself or the world.
In that moment she felt the waves of emotion she had bottled up hit her like an ocean raging during a storm.
She stood tall, determined not to back down,
She forgave herself, as the storm in her quieted, she realized she had made it.
She looked up again and said thank you.
