She out there. Taking on the world now, bit by bit, her life is falling into place. She's got the scholarship shes been trying so hard to get and she's got her mind set and ready to take on whatever life throws her way.
She's a fighter, that's what they all call her. They say she knows what she wants and she's out to get it, a successful life! They say the universe works hand in hand with her to make her dreams come true.
If only...
As she sits by the window, she ponders about the number of things they say about her.
How determined she is,
how hardworking,
how focused...
and a small smile, almost pitiful, lines her face. They don't know what she knows.
She knows what a struggle it was, leaving home for a far away place, leaving friends for a better education, leaving family behind for the sake of a future. They don't know the things she left before taking this big step. They don't see her sitting by this window.
They don't know the millions of decisions she took, they don't know the price she had to pay, they don't know what she sacrificed. They don't know how heavy her heart was, saying goodbye, they don't know how deep she drowned herself in fear before getting onto that flight.
They don't know she felt like she wasn't the one in control, they weren't aware that she didn't have a map.
They aren't aware of the boy, the one who made this the most difficult move of all, they don't know about the heart breaker, who kept her here long after she left. They don't know how difficult it was to let go.
They don't know that it is now done. He has been freed. She has been freed.
They don't know just like sometimes, she doesn't know.
And while shes sitting by her window, thinking about all of them, only she knows what it's like to not know and only she knows that sometimes, it's okay to not know.
Suddenly, her smile isn't pitiful anymore, its beautiful!
