The Girl Who Never Played Outside

Inspired from a true story in my life.

The Girl Who Never Played Outside

I passed by the place all the time
Such a pretty little girl lived inside

I only saw her go to and from the car
Never did she dare to go very far

But children are made to run and play
They should never be doomed to stay

I wonder if she would like to play outside
I wonder if she is happy inside

No hide and seek
No kitty’s to find and keep

No exciting stories to tell
No fun slides and rails

One day I will move and be gone
But I shall never forget the little girl who was done wrong

I’m back. 😊

there could be so many reasons...but if she is just being kept....we pray she will break free and get to live life...

[Levi Levin]

Very true indeed! Thanks for stopping in!

I have seen such children spoiling their age for various reason. Heart touching poem ❤️

That's a terrible life for a child - girl or boy, to live. In fact it isn't living, it's near total isolation. Youth is for learning how to socialise, how to enjoy being alive, laughing, looking at the all around and discovery. If of school age, why haven't the authorities enquired about the little one's absence from the classroom? It's a tragedy in the making, needs sorting. :(

Thanks for stopping by. Very true indeed. It’s definitely not healthy to stay inside and rarely exit except to take a ride with the parent. She doesn’t seem to even leave for school or anything like that.

[emmajoygreen]

Is that true or .. ? Such a sadness

[Levi Levin]

True indeed.

I see that you wrote it, after-all.

You frame it so that the girl isn't allowed to play outside, which is just wrong.

[Levi Levin]

Thanks for stopping by. So many children are growing up without parents who seem to care about the development of the child.

[emmajoygreen]

Just noticed your words under the title. That's a worrying situation; hard to know what to do. Will ask more another time - is so sad

Hi Levi.SAd isnt it? in my childhood we ran with abandon all over the streets. We only came in at dark. now the worst thing seems to be having to go out.Children are scheduling play dates because they fear everyone and everything. Thank you FOX entertainment

[Levi Levin]

Thanks Tate. Same here. I grew up the same way. Kids were all over outside after school. We walked all over town. It seems rare to see children outside anymore.

This is tender and emotional.
So sad that she never went out to play. Perhaps she was shy, maybe a little afraid.
I truly hope she's okay.

Your thoughts caress softly around me and my heart.

Thanks so much Brandy. I appreciate your kind review.
