A Delicate Balance

A teen faces many challenges then finds her place.

Fifteen years for her
tip-toeing through
broken glass.
Shards drawing her blood
despite many
objections.
Narcissism and
control of her
prevailing.
A rise and a fall
never knowing
directions.
Countless nights on the
lone, empty streets
wandering.
Happy families
as she peers through
window panes.
Holidays joyous.
Others making
memories.
Stumbles to freedom
from the chaos
sun shining.
Exhilaration!
A place of love
and comfort.
Delicate balance.
She believes that
justice wins.
Scales have a purpose.
Dainty, pure heart
sanctified.
