She Stayed True To Her Course
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.
