Her
fragile little body trembles in fear
As
the excessive yelling comes nearer and nearer
And
so she retreats to that place in her mind
A
special place, no one else can find
She
arrives there safely, with doll in hand
To
that wonderful place, her fantasy land
There
are hugh rainbows all around
Beautiful
wild flowers cover the ground
The
sun bursts forth with brillant light
Never
giving way to the evils of night
Little
doll houses adorn the hills
With
teddy bears sitting on window sills
There's
lollipops that line each trail
And
puppy dogs with wagging tails
The
wild flowers tickle her little toes
As
a butterfly lands on the end of her nose
Her
laughter echos through the air
And
she runs and plays without a care
For
here she is safe from any harm
Safe
from the beatings that broke her arm
Safe
from the iron that seared her skin
Safe
from the stabs of a safety pin
She's
not a stranger, she's been here before
But
this time she'll stay for evermore
She'll
have nothing to hide and no one to fear
For
you see her reality ended here
