Her Innocence
A growing darling, nurtured by fresh warm milk
and her covering, made of white spotless silk.
Her life balances well, even on a high heel
having a strong support, made of pure steel.
Dad and mum determine every stop and station
extra limbs from this character face immediate amputation.
Plans are already underway for her to be the best
keeping a difference and mental distance from the rest.
Sugar and soft drinks make her sleepy
not going to bed at nine is wrong and creepy.
Little creatures leave water to cover the road
she still passes through without stepping on a toad.
Anything outside the schedule gives stress
from one good to another is an express.
Zero is adventure in her young account
the faults in her entire life, one can count.
Between her and perfection, the other, one stalks
her resume is quiet, about her, no one talks.
Still trying to process what she will later become
exposure’s open arms, she’s yet to welcome.
