Little Girl

Will I ever not feel alone?
Will I ever feel at home?
Who's to say

World around suffocates
Seen no more
Not a sound heard

Never disliked
No
The importance was lacking

Valued so little
Couldn't be bothered

A corner made home
Community enclosed
Always out of reach
"Little girl, accept reality."

"You never smiled enough.
No.
Young one, you're a little off.
Yes.
Never pleased the people,
Mistake on day one"

Broken soul
Alone
Never to be whole

Pain so real
physical revulsion
'Twas a friend indeed

Emotions expressed,
No comprehension.
Pain compressed

Unwanted she knew
They whispered words
So vivid
Remembered to this day

Nonchalantly continuing onward
Souls of hate were fed

Brick by brick
Protection was built

Walls so high
She couldn't feel the sun
No escape

The prisoner
Of her own protection

Not a soul will ever know
Her need.
Acceptance two steps ahead

...( A promise is made)

"Do not worry little ones"
Though actions cannot be reversed
Known all too well

I am here
I am aware
I notice your lack of hope
Just know
I understand

When in reach
This I promise
I will respond
