The girl missed seeing
The creatures hiding in the brush
And the song they sang
When all else was hush
But the girl, a woman now
Replaced fun with a crown
And bare feet
With shoes too tight
The girl, in the woman
Looks on in the dark night
Hoping to see them again
Tag: growing up
Eyes Wide Open
Crawling out of the dark cave where I tend to hide
I hear noises
I see light
I force myself to open my eyes
Stranger Paths
