About the Poem
This poem is about my niece. The thought of her growing up and losing her innocence and purity drives me insane. Wish I could keep her safe and in plush white wings forever - don't want her to make any mistakes etc. Scares me to think that she will...
To Cinderella |
| by Rachael Harris |
| I weep for you little girl at night, as you sleep as I look into your innocent eyes I burn black and cry for you let me twist and turn in my own personal hell in mental anguish as I try to save you from tomorrow from the pain of growing up and being pushed into reality before the door to childhood has been locked let me blind you and bind you from this mess little girl NO! damn me little girl for years gone wrong behind locked and closed doors "blood is thicker" damn me for hiding little girl remind me little girl of tears running down my face when the same confusion got trapped in my head remind me of my once innocent eyes replace the mirror between us little girl and let me writhe with envy and hopelessly wish to reclaim the power of child we were darkened by the same careless naivete that gives us strength hide from them little girl let me weep |
