![]() Little Girl, Don't Close Your EyesA Poem by A.Lee
She is worthless
Just a figment of what she should be Never right; eternal blunder The first mistake God ever made She is scarred Torn to pieces, in and out Yearning for a sense of healing Turned away at every door She is growing But inwardly the ghost remains A childhood lost A crippled spirit hides in pain She is fighting Bobbing just above the water Waning will With so few lights to guide her way Do you notice? The girl pretending to be strong She's sinking deeper in the quicksand Being swallowed up with doubt Do you see her? As all the pressure weighs her down The more she fights the more she falls And you just stand there... Little girl Hiding in your woman's clothing Don't you know? There is reason to survive Little girl All the things they said were wrong You can turn away the night Don't close your eyes... © 2010 A.LeeAuthor's Note
