Destiny

by Amy J. Kline (Insomnia) - Virgo

Destiny

At sixteen years of age,
the fragile girl
ran away from abusive parents.

With fair complexion,
intelligent blue eyes...
she packed a few
items of clothing
and her flute.

Hitchhiking,
she rode far away,
to the ocean...
to rid herself
of the pain.

Playing
soft, sweet music
she lured lovers.

Long skirts,
lacey blouses,
jingling bracelets,
locks of golden hair...
she seduced anyone
who would love her
for a night.

And although many
would feel used
and dirty,
she felt
a new strength
inside her.

Her music 
was her outlet,
her fate.

And so
she changed her name
to Destiny.
