Poem Title:
Poem
People judge her from the outside But they don't know the inside of that Anna of mine. She has lived a hundred lifetimes. She shows her scars and the pictures of her time. She is tough on the outside and loves a good time, But the one on the inside is hard for her to find. These layers help protect the little girl she once knew. It has been a long time since she has seen this little girl too. I know she is in there I have seen her a time or two. I see her in her eyes and in her heart too. This Anna of mine wants to be someone she once knew, But is scared and doesn't know what to do. Many people in her life have hurt her and hit her too. She has been abused more than me and you. She thinks if she drops her guard for a moment or two, They might get the rest of that little girl too. If she only knew that some of us aren't that way, We won't eat her up night and day. If she wasn't around people that way she could learn to laugh and play. I worry for her so,that Anna of mine,I have cared for her a long time. She thinks she was born bad and I know that can't be. I think bad people and bad times is what she sees. I want her to know that I love her so, I would never hurt her ,you know. I wish I could protect her from the jerks she doesn't know, But all I can tell her is I am here for her and love her so, That Anna of mine and the little girl inside.
