Her Ups and Her Downs

Every jump, hop, or twirl led her forward into the world of her grown up self She caught glimpses of the woman she wanted to be As she played her heart out with her friends. But when she was alone, this is when validation and verification began. In the distant future a vision of her future womanhood appeared sometimes in the forms of stars, flowers, or butterflies. Other times she saw herself in stark ugly gray concrete or a dumpster that needed to be fumigated. She had no idea why these visions appeared But she saw her star path, and stayed true to the course. Being the happiest, most enthusiastic, upbeat positive creature she could be. Unless her body was tired, or hungry, then she became hard, gray, flat ugly concrete, a flat tire, an empty water bottle. She never knew what was going to happen, however she did know herself, and this was a great start toward adjusting and fixing her future self.
