Alone

They just couldn’t understand what happened

Their beloved little sheep was no longer following them 

Refusing to keep up with the herd 

She no longer sought the approval of the shepherd 

She was on a learning path hungry to know more 

Of what could be, of what was and of what is…

But all this knowledge was becoming too much for the flock 

They looked at her differently, not understanding 

Like Eve cast out of Eden for taking a bite out of the fruit from the tree of knowledge 

She was gaining the spots that went with rebellion 

As she came to realize that all she had known before wasn’t right 

And she had no reason to follow it or stand for it 

She understood that just because someone was family 

There still was not a reason to accept or enable what she didn’t believe in

For her it wasn’t about taking sides 

For her it was about doing what was right 

The patterns followed before didn’t have to continue 

Just because they became a legacy didn’t mean that they were good 

And she wanted good 

She wanted what would make her feel good to be free 

However she understood that her freedom didn’t come alone 

Like everything there was a price 

Her peace of mind would make her the black sheep 

The lost one to others who in reality found herself 

But she was ok with that 

She accepted her path and she knew her truth 

She was going to brush out her mats, carry a pic in her pocket 

Whenever she needed to be reminded of the light she held 

The light that took off like a rocket
