Ode to Angie Atkinson

it's strange
when a stranger dies,
having never
known her
in person, 
and yet it breaks your heart
just the same.
she was always there
on YouTube,
giving you her latest take
on narcissism
and psychopaths.
how to avoid,
how to heal
how to move on
and never be trapped
again in
the hamster wheel
of abuse.
cheerful and bright,
a survivor too.
you never knew her,
and yet,
when she spoke
on the screen,
dispersing her wisdom,
you felt
without a doubt,
that she knew you.
