Little Girl Within
You sit at the window sill
And gaze out as if time was still
You think about life
You realize yours wasn't much of a thrill
Your emotions began to spill
Then suddenly you hear children laughing
Then you see the young girl in the corner they are laughing at
Looking back to their faces they are all smiling and pointing
The girls face became red with shame
In her eyes you saw her wanting to get away
To fast forward to another day
She began to pick up her papers
Looking down at the ground
Careful not to look up and let them see her tears coming down
Her whole body trembling in fear
As they look on smiling you can see they did not care
About the girl they made want to disappear
You call out to her and she walks over tears spilling from her eyes
You hand her a tissue and say dry your face
She looks up at you
Through bright blue eyes clouded with pain
And asked you one simple question
Will life always be this way?
You thought for a second on how to react
In that instance the girl was gone
You search out the window
And realize you were stuck in limbo
The young girl that wished to hide
And stand tall by your side
Took her place deep inside
You feel her where she resides
The scared little girl no one knew
You touch your hand to your face
Wanting to erase all the pain and mistakes
It was then you realized
There was no turning back
It was time to remove the mask
You look in the mirror
Suddenly you can see more clearer
You turn away and take a step towards your new day
As you move forward something tugged at you
And you felt the darkness
You moved on knowing it was the darkness that helped
All the little children with deep pain
That never seemed to go away.
You opened the door to a whole new life
Hoping this time to get it right.
