She is the leader.
Confidently, she leads them.
She fears the future.
Everyone hates him.
No one can stand his smart grin.
They don’t know its fake.
Her laugh, obnoxious.
She fills the room she enters.
No one sees her cry.
His past knows only pain.
Ghosts of sorrow follow close.
He kills them every day.
She starts off timid.
Her friends help her grow stronger.
Soon no one hurts her.
It was the wrong place,
Right between gun and owner.
The timing was right.
A Place Between Worlds
