Happy Girl

It was
  not that long ago
A mere
  6 months
    or so
Where I became so used
  to the gritty feel of
    crawling on concrete
I put my whole body into it
  never really feeling
    I would be complete
I spun out of control
  torn outside of myself
I was evaporating
  faster than words unread
    on a dusty shelf
So I stopped.

No more worrying about
  moving with or against
    outside forces
I crawled deep inside
  took a good, long look
    at all my choices
And that's where I found her
The happy girl
  I very nearly forgot about
Resting comfortably
  no need to shout
Plucking her daisy
Counting her blessings
  one, two, three
I crawled inside her
And found me.
