The Cape: A poem for a valiant friend

For so long, my friend has worn a cape of shadows 
Soaking up her problems; 
Displaying them for all; 
It grew heavy with her grief; 
And darker with her inner chaos; 
Getting dense enough, breaking her shoulders beneath; 
So she needs us there; 
To let the light bleed in to the material; 
To rip the cape from her shoulder
