Day 25

This one is inspired by a real moment I experienced a long time ago. I hope you like it.


A Private Moment Witnessed By a Stranger

She sat crying in the shower at 3am.

Crouching in the corner
Water pouring down on her
Steam filling the room
Sobs echoing against the tile.

Her sadness was pervasive
The kind that stays with you.

A woman out of place,
Alone in an army of women,
A woman among girls.

She had already found her way.
Found it then lost it.
That's what brought her here.
To this place.

Her soul tested.
Her resolve pushed to the limits.
Her humanity unmanned.
Her sanity weakened.

Forcing her to embrace
any possible moment of peace and calm.

Commanding her to sit crying in the shower at 3am.
