Nice - Three Word Wednesday

Three Word Wednesday where you write something using the three prompt words.
This week's words are  ... Demure, Offend and Volatile

She learned from a very young age not to offend, to mould and be,
it was subconscious, unintentional, but it worked for her
she never faced the volatile outpourings of others
they were strategically avoided with kind words and helpfulness
she was the epitome of demure
a 1950's housewife, perfect
yes, you can be perfect if you just try hard enough
but after a time she forgot who she was
she doubted she ever knew
then one day she raised her perfectly controlled tone
and screamed
it was then that everything she had ever known was thrown into the air, and when it fell
she picked up the pieces and looked at them, one by one
and in time, she found a place for each of them
after she'd finished
she found that her character had remained demure
and that she was still helpful and would still say kind words
but she was just nice
not perfect
and she never tried to be again
because nice was who she was
and that was just fine.
