In a Langston Hughes poem, titled "Stange Hurt" he writes : ' In times of stormy weather?

Question

She felt queer pain
That said,
"you'll find rain better
Than shelter from the rain

Days filled with fiery sunshine
Strange hurt she knew
That made
her seek the burning sunlight
rather than the shade.

In months of snowy winter
When cozy houses hold,
She'd break down doors
To wander naked in the cold?

If anyone interested will:
What was She defiantly running always from?
What was she hopefully running toward?
What compelled her not to trust refuges, but keep running as a wild horse, bolted out of a barricade?
What would inspire Hughes to write such a poem?
What in his heart identified with the constant fugitive of his creation?
Why did "SHE" Not accept the validity or Apparent comfort of any of these refuges?
What would have the convincing power only she would recognize to stop her desperate flight?
Would she KNOW it if she ever came across it?
Was she wise to keep on running?
What was Hughes' strange hurt?
What was his creation's?
What ALL was he implying was the issue in this poem?
