On search for her happy place

Behind all the bravado

is a scared, ever so vulnerable
little girl who just wants to
run away from the world
and find a quiet place to hide.

Could this be her happy place?

Possibly.

If such a place even exists.


She can not fathom into which
direction she should travel on
search of her happy place.
Her possibly-could-be happy place
moves ever so rapidly from
one place to the next;
leaving her confused and
unaccomplished.

What she thinks is her
happy place
is inviting and attractive;
but what she doesn't understand
is that what she thinks her
happy place is,
is actually a lure--
a lure that, when she comes close enough,
GRABS HER
DRAGS HER
to an unhappy place.

After much struggling
she finally gets out.
She is
empowered
determined
She resorts to stay away.
At the same time though, she is
vulnerable, weak.
She is once again fooled by the
extremely smart, beautiful one-of-a-kind lure.
Like a child enthralled by shiny objects,
she once again gets close,
close enough to touch.
she is
GRABBED
DRAGGED
REMOVED,
Removed from any hope of finding any kind of
happy place.

She could be the cause for her
missing
happy place.
"She has, through her choices,
purposely misplaced her happy place"

But it is easier to think this not the case.


He knows her.
In a way she wishes he did not.
But she still falls for the lure,
irrespective of her resort to
stay away
and
not fall
for the lure
again.
