That's what she needed
how can anyone blame her
with this world the way it is
nefarious
unapologetic 
demoralizing 
she knows it's not all bad
but it sure looks bad
and the people
what happened to the people
some turned on her
they probably felt neglected
others took to hiding 
unsure of how to help
a few stayed behind
offering love over everything
she was already gone by then
leaving everyone
to find herself 
and her place in this world
if she returns
she won't be the same
no matter what anyone says
we'll all have to let her be
