who are you
little girl
insecure and afraid
of making the first steps
towards happiness?
where did you come from
little girl
beautiful and fragile
gentle of spirit and so afraid
of happiness?
why can't you see
that happiness is knocking
pounding
demanding entry
at your door?
look at his eyes
look at the arms that could hold you
and keep you safe and sheltered
and then you push them away
you make no sense
speak
give him the story
of your sad little life
and he will either
run to you
or
run away from you
but at least you will have tried
who are you
little girl
and when will you learn
that the decision to be happy
is yours
and
yours alone
