Searching

Little girl lost-
Why have your dreams stopped flying?
They used to soar beyond all the others-
So high, even God Himself had to squint to see them.
Little girl lost-
Why did you stop pretending?
Lands of make believe now inhabited,
Not by pixies and fairies,
But by cynics and doubters.
You stopped dancing and singing
Infront of their eyes;
Conceding to pirouette or hum a tune only
when you're all alone-
With no one to judge Except you...
You know you can be the harshest one of all.
Little girl lost-
So trapped in the past
It eats you alive.
Tiny and vulnerable
In a body you have made to protect yourself.
Microscopic and fragile
In the mind of this
Body that only allows one thought:
I hate myself.
Shrinking smaller
Dreams are falling
Hate!Hate!Hate!
Even smaller still
While fairylands Collapse in on themselves
Like chocolate silk soufflés.
And limbs go weak
As voices mute
In this mind that
SCREAMS
"Give up!"
Little girl lost-
Lie down on your shredded blanket of
Hope and faith.
Rest now.
Leave that sparkle in your eyes.
Though it's dim,
I will see it in the darkness.
Stay there-
I'm on my way.
