Words:  shine, entitled, while, child, stab, bile, fright,
        reconcile, miles, enlightened, rude, denial


No longer a frightened
child–bile choking 
her throat–she will never 
reconcile with her mother 
or step-father–a shining 
example of rudeness
and self-entitlement.

Now a young woman, she still 
cannot erase that stabbing incident
from her mind.  Yet her mother,
time and again, allows him
back into their lives.  Well,
her mother may continue
her life of denial, but she
will not.  She will be miles 
away by the time they find
her note.
