She Is Full Of Sunshine And Bright Bouquets
She chooses with care
She doesn’t have a lot of friends
Which is how she chooses it to be,
The world has betrayed her often
She has learned caution is the key.
***
Too often she has felt betrayal
From those who state they care,
She has been beaten bloody
Emotionally she knows it’s unfair.
***
She has worked extremely hard
To find her peace and happiness,
It’s why she limits her circle of friends
No longer caring for loss and sadness.
***
Her inner child, lost all hope long ago
That little girl has long since fallen asleep,
And yet still she dreams in vivid colour
Of Unicorns and fluffy pink sheep.
***
When she is awake, I hear her whisper
That the dragons have left their fire,
The flames burning deep inside her
Cloaking her in the security she desires.
***
She no longer knows where she belongs
As she silently goes about her day,
But she knows she has more to offer
Such as sunshine and bright bouquets.
