A.seek his or her own happiness.
In the excerpt the speaker is talking about how she is not a servant, tool, bandage or sacrifice for anyone else. She is not the one to provide anyone happiness especially at the cost of her own. We see this focus on the speaker's happiness in the last line of the excerpt when it says "This miracle of me is mine to own an keep" In this line the speaker takes responsibility for her own happiness, and in turn shows that happiness is the responsibility of each individual.
