She has arrived.
I had forgotten
that she thrives
on redemption;
she’s still alive.
Empowered by tenacity,
her flowering capacity
to overcome the numbness
of despondency emerges
and surges
into full force ambition
to bring dreams to fruition
despite social traditions.
Yes, she’s returned
to grasp what she’s earned,
to use what she’s learned
for reclamation.
