she stretched her hand out towards the static
hearing the whispers retreat into their hollow shells

and that was the time she decided to love herself
because she figured somebody had to

thank you! i kind of wanted this to be a shorter poem because i think i conveyed everything i wanted in the 2 stanzas i had, but i totally get what you're saying and when i'm editing i'll see if adding a few more is the way i want to go! :)
