A Map To The Psyche

"I'm going to help you"

the woman said with a smile

"I'm going to pay your legal fees...."

She was a shareholder,
so much at stake,
she had already lost so much
and yet she had stepped forward
to help us,
after so many we had loved had gone.

" I know what really happened,
I believe you "

She said as she
hugged each of us

"Thank you" ...

We both replied, stunned

In that moment,
she had taught me more
than I had ever known
about the true meaning of faith.

"Thank you for giving us our lives back."

I whispered.

She had given us more than financial support.
She had given us back our will to fight.
A chance to make things right,
to remain strong while we faced
our own mistakes,
Something we would do for the rest of our lives.

But she had also given us the gift we needed most
a chance for a fair fight,
and the means to bring forward the complete truth,
and to hold the others that had fled,
cowered, or hidden.... accountable for their actions.

It was only be a day before the threatening
letters from the sanctimonious attorneys
started coming, telling us we should not be public
with our feelings on this website,
and with our side of the story.

We realized it was an important chain of events
After all, Who would worry about a private little website
if nothing was true,
and if no one was supposedly viewing it?

It was not just going to be our fight anymore
We stood back and watched
other people beginning to get very nervous.

It was the first time
since our lives had been so abruptly shattered
that we could share a moment
a silent mutual sense of relief,
from the isolation and frustration
we had violently dealt with for so many endless days.

We were ready to stomp out
the dirty little secrets
we had been smothered by for so long.

She had given us our spirit back
and with that,
we were ready to fight.

Fight fire, with Fire.
