A Second Glance

The little girl inside was screaming for help But you just watched her, and just listened With a hardened heart, with no remorse. You did not even take a second glance Even though you knew exactly what was going on. She tried to voice her options and her choices She tried to ask you for help and see things through her eyes, But you shut her up and shut her out. You shut her up and told her what you wanted to happen. Yet you trigged her into believing you were there for her, And she believed like the little girl she is, That help was knocking on the door Then you left her in the middle of the ocean Drowning by the waves of the storm, Storm that you stirred up. You did not even take a second glance. Until she became one with the sea Until she became part of the storm To never say the storm is over and the sun shines again The little girl inside no longer screamed for help She saw help within the pillars of the storm She sort strength within the mess As she realized little did she know she was no longer No longer the little girl who was once stared The storm had created within her a new dawn A new era was evolving inside and she had to take over She took a second and third and fourth glance at the storm With calmness she stepped forward And walked out through the door of the storm With perseverance and calmness you can overcome any storm
