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.
