That little girl's eyes ...

I can't begin to explain 

how my pride keeps me in so much pain 

But

i'm

scared your laugh at my pleas 

looking down on me

on my bloody knees 

rejection staring me in the face 

visions and memories 

of that time and place 

feeling belittled feeling so small 

feeling so helpless 

only 3 foot tall

those tired old memories 

they keep me hurting inside 

but most of the time I don't realise 

dishonestly and lies 

my pride my pride 

I don't know where to hide 

im confused and scared 

the ghosts messing up  my mind 

just wish someone would rescue me 

but i'm not a little girl anymore 

i've got to be honest with myself 

about who I am and show you the layers inside 

rawness its true 

it's what I feel that makes it true 

Dear pride.. you need to step aside 

even know I know you try to protect me 

you stop me from true growth 

intimacy and real exploration 

I know you mean well 

but now it's time for a vacation

I'll have to just look up,stand tall 

take a risk and pray God's protection .

little girl and her

tired eyes.
