And had to release each one…

“Off.”
It Had To Happen, Anyway
“Is NOT consolation.”
It Made Her Feel
“Like she was unsubstantial.”
For Other’s Sake
But that was just it – wasn’t it?
She could always try to rally for others.
But her own self kept getting left with the short end of the stick.
Not for lack of trying, but because she didn’t have her own advocate to lend weight to help her push past barriers to her own success.
Even Still
She refused to give up.
(Run – Collective Soul)

Under Seige
“Blight’s consternation.”
