i was once a little girl

so innocent and sweet

unknowing of the world 

trying to suffocate me


so what happens to little girls

who hold paint brushes in their hands

only for them to turn into blades

painting lines of red


so what happens to young girls

who express themselves a little too much 

only to be told their delusional or psycho

with pills shoved down their throats


so what happens to teenage girls

who fall for boys like it's uncomplicated

only for their hearts to be broken

mourning a faux death


so what happens when that little girl grows up

does she realise the uncanny truth of the world

and its dishonourable reality 

what happens then?


what happens to the innocence of these girls

snatched away in infancy

where does it go before they are willing to fight for it

what if they never get it back?
