When there’s a misunderstanding
of her kindness and softness,
she pivots.
Don’t mistake her lack of reciprocity as impolite;
she’s made an informed redirection.
She receives input as guidance.
Assigning the incorrect definition of assertive
will do no justice.
She is the sunset, bold and serene.
She’s not trapped in a box,
bouncing off angles repeatedly.
She operates on a sea,
like a wave curving.
She rides life.
She knows where the center is,
but she feels freedom.
The sea opens,
allowing her to learn.
She hears when it’s time.
