Mona lisa's smile

She stopped
Expecting
It hadn't been
Very easy
Not even close
She could feel
A part of her
Unseen self
Shrinking
Somewhere
But on the other
There was space
For new
For light
For exploration
For adventurous
Freedom
She quickly smiled
To herself
Almost shying away
From herself
And before she'd
Catch herself guilty
She stopped
Smiling
But this time
With hope
And freedom
Her silence
Had confidence.
