Somewhere Between Here and There

She didn't know who she would become.
She didn't know where she would go.
All she knew was that she didn't want to become her mom.
She wasn't going to be two-faced -
All flowers and smiling in public,
but thorns and shouting behind closed doors.
If she had children, she wasn't going to be negligent.
She would never hurt them.
She certainly had no intention of living with abuse.
These ideals
Guided her steps
Into the arms of the man
Who would become
Her abuser.
