The little girl in me 

believed that angles look over her 

to take care of her 

and protect her heart 


the little girl in me 

believed in love 

and fairtales 

and happily ever afters


the little girl i knew 

had dreams of looking at a sky full of stars at night 

waiting to see a shooting star fall 

patiently to wish 


but as time passed on 

the little girl grew up 

and found the thorns in life 

that lay ahead of her 


she realized that perfect stories 

simply don't exist ,

 unless someone wants something 

a chess game too hard for her to understand


after years now 

here she stand here 

with her head in her hands 

trying to figure out


how she lost herself

 in this maze of life

"perfection."
