American Woman IX

Found the courage

Located the faith
To take the step
Away to a new place.

Alone and free

Strong where we

Think we want to be
And then we remember.

Why we stayed so long

Finding reasons

To just hang in there 
To stay strong.

Lonely nights

Listening to the dog

Lick his rear end

Looking at the clock.

Wondering did I 
Choose the right course
Did I find myself
Or lose myself in this Divorce.
