“I am no longer afraid.
I will never again allow myself
to be afraid to be loved. Or to love you.
Who am I to doubt the World's reasoning?
And how remarkable it feels—finally-
to be that broken filly
upon whom no one would ever bet, yet
one day-against all odds-breaks
into the outside lane and comes in first.”
