Her Place

[2010]

As tears stream down her sunburnt face
She wonders if she’ll find her place
It wasn’t home; that much is sure
“Far away” just seemed the cure
Now twenty-three, still drifting ‘round
Still destinations remain unfound
Dozens of faces, dozens of beers
Dozens of phone calls, dozens of “cheers!”
Yet one single moment, alone in her room
Reminds her that settlement—destiny—looms
She counts on one hand the people that care
The ones that have truly, always been there
She thinks of some phone calls: sobbing and tears
Followed by total annihilation of fears
Suddenly, she wipes off her tears with a sleeve
And smiling, rises; she fully believes
That without a doubt, no worries, no haste
Some day—somehow—she’ll find her place
