That's What She Said

She said she was tired.Tired of being afraid.
Afraid of what? Afraid of holding back.
Holding back her emotions. Holding back her opinions.
'It's not very sensible' she'd tell herself.
What does she know?
She knows everything. She knows nothing.
She is wise. She is inexperienced.
Her thoughts and feelings span the spectrum of color. The spectrum of light into darkness.
She feels everything. She feels nothing.
She is a cynic. She is an optimist.
She is a lover. She is a fighter.
She wounds. She heals.
She sees confusion. She sees clearly.
She is lost.
Lost and afraid.
She, she is me.
