Finding Herself
By E1d0l0n

She stood at the bottom of the stairs,
looking up at the door,
trying to remember the time before.

She stood at the top and cautiously
turned the knob
in a trancelike state she tiptoed in.

She stood in the middle mesmerized 
by what she saw.
Through a wall of windows stood it all.


She stood listening to a name that a woman called.
"Hailey Hailey" the woman softly whispered
for the ears of the girl to hear.

She stood hypnotized by what she saw
and curious by the voice
that was going to led her beyond.

By a single leap the girl flew
through the huge window,
through it all.

She landed at the bottom of the stairs.
There she stood,
looking up at the door
trying to remember the time before.
