triumphantcy....yup that's what i said

stand little girl
swing your arms wide and free like the birds who fly overhead.
stretch your legs out long and lean
racing them faster to catch the ones in lead.
scream with your voice
shriek the words of the ones that no longer hold you down.
now look at them all, silent and still
lost in the thought of your triumphantcy.
no more the wiser how you made it through.
watch them mix in the moment of their loses
frantic to find the holds they once possessed.
scared to believe they no longer have it in the palm of their hand.
for the power has been taken back
by the one who owned it first.

before - after
