Vickie Ortiz Vazquez Poet Free verse

Girl Interrupted

Girl Interrupted, 2011
V. Ortiz Vazquez


Minding her own she cruises along
Unaware the cards dealt to her
Pay no attention to life’s brutalities
She walks
Halted, a touch
A peek
Nearly stolen lays the “damaged”
Misunderstood by those around her
She, herself cannot comprehend thyself
Struggles within, out
She walks
Halted, a touch
A peek
References of wrong doing, laziness
Swift away in night
One last breath gone by daylight
Lingering thoughts of “I wish I would have done more”
She walks
Halted, no more
