She was like the moon,
part of her was hidden away.
That small yearning to swoon
overwhelmed by heat of the day.

Little girl, little girl
why are you crying?
Inside your restless soul
your heart is dying.

In the end you were meant to run
from the absolute start,
to find the truth behind the 'fun'
and protect your fragile heart.

I know how it is my dear,
to have that doubt making fear.
To see the infinite lies
and eventual demise.

To become enraptured in want of truth
making you an almost too accurate sleuth.
But something has already changed,
as your heart has became deranged.

Because you've always seen them run away,
instead of accepting the consequence
of losing their desired win today.
Merely adding to your pain's sequence.

Don't push yourself too hard,
the sky's not going anywhere.
Working for your dreams is a great thing,
though too much can cause you suffering.

She became like the moon,
part of her was hidden away.
That small yearning to swoon
overwhelmed by heat of the day.

Little girl, little girl
why are you crying?
Inside your restless soul
your heart is dying.

In the end you were meant to run
from the absolute start,
to find the truth behind the 'fun'
and protect your fragile heart.

Though the memories may arise,
like the stars in black skies
and the tears may shed
only to fill your heart with dread.

Though the pain may return,
every now and again,
keep that hope apt to burn
and not let it die due to men.

Hide away your deepest desires,
protect them with burning fires.
Every day continue to grow
and stronger you will show.

She is like the moon,
part of her was hidden away.
That small yearning to swoon
overwhelmed by heat of the day.

Little girl, little girl
why are you crying?
Inside your restless soul
your heart is dying.

In the end you were meant to run
from the absolute start,
to find the truth behind the 'fun'
and protect your fragile heart.
Something hit me today and made me reflect and think. This poem in a way is a letter to and about myself from a few months ago. I couldn't even begin to describe how much meaning is in this poem. I haven't written something like this heartfelt and deep in ages. It's amazing how time changes.

Writing Note: Little girl stanzas are apparently from Green Day. I mean no infringement on their rights whatsoever.

A very wonderful poem, it reminds me of an old song I heard on my mother's country-western CD I think it was sung by David Gates. The only part I remember, unfortunately, is this:

Little girl in the mirror looking back,
Lost and saddened, will I be pretty when I'm grown?

It just made me think about all that and the changes we go through as we grow. We all change, but let us hope for positive changes ^^
