Last night I went into the stall with you...
Just you and me...
I spoke softly to you as I slipped the halter over your nose, and pulled it over your head...
I guided you out of the stall, and into the arena...
As we walked together I knew the real guiding would be from you...
As I placed each word on your body, tears filled my eyes...
I saw myself in your look...
I know that each one held a memory, a person who put a word on me...
How I too just stood and took it on...
That the sadness in your eyes mirrored mine...
I knew that to get to the other side, I had to believe it was possible...
That my words were more powerful than anyone else's...
That to know these were really me...
As I unhooked the rope I held you with, I told you to be free...
My heart soared with you as you didn't just walk away, but you jumped and kicked as you ran free.
