She marked it
the day it happened
a change that finally
told her that things
would wind up turning out
better than she dared
to believe for so long
On this day
words had been said
that she needed to hear
and she held them
in her heart:
“Set apart….stand out”
she had hoped
against what she knew best
that this day
would have been marked
set apart
but instead
it was just another day
