She Said

by Jada Andrews - Capricorn

She Said

She said she was unwanted 
uncared for 
unloved 
unhappy with her life. 
I held her while she cried 

I knew better, but couldn't 
convince her otherwise, 
no matter how hard I tried 

I know she's always been 
the coveted one 
the loved one 
the wanted one 
but she, 
she never saw the truth. 

She was the one they all wanted, and I was their confidante, 
who kept their secrets until revealed. 

Now she knows. 

Difficult choices laid before her 
difficult words forced in her head 
difficult feelings left to wrestle with, 
but still, at least she knows now that 
she is wanted 
she is cared for 
she is loved, 

and now, just maybe 
she can learn to be happy with her life 
once again...
