Poetry: Transformed

Sen’s contract was gone,

ended,

finished.

The wicked witch

no longer owned her.

Her name had been restored.

Her parents would never believe her.

No one would.

Except the dragon

and the spirits she’d saved

Who knew her

as Sen,

 The human

That had been

Compassionate

Strong

And brave:

The one

Who had saved
sorrowful spirits

from their suffering.

Chihiro was Sen

Sen was Chihiro.

Chihiro, who had been afraid

Of the mysterious tunnel

and its secrets,

Chihiro, who whined and acted scared

terrified of the unknown

Chihiro, the transformed one.

The contract transformed her,

From Sen

To Chihiro

It had made her realize

She could brave anything

Thrown at her

She did not need to be Sen

to have courage.

She could be herself.

From Chihiro

To Sen

To a brand new

Chihiro
