Reality plays Copy-Cat to Memories Unacknoledged
Free Spirit, Free mind
Our lovely, so sweet and kind
She’s growing up so fast it seems
Starts to see the cracks in her flawless dreams
Slips into her short, tight dress
Rule number 1: Dress to Impress
Vulnerable to a strangers touch
With only a drink in her hand to clutch
Define Trust – belief in the powers, strength, ability of another person
Define Confidence- belief in the powers, strength, ability of yourself
Each step she takes, each move she makes is stained with a belief in her self and others
She opens up, her walls break down, ready to let in another
Those memories lay at the back of her mind
To the warnings and signs she was blind
Memories buried, awkward, cold, and stale
A trigger so minute manipulates a mind so frail
He provoked anguish, anxiety, fury in her
He grabbed her legs, fingers running up her thighs in one messy blur
She resisted, she swore she did
But her body lay still, lifeless
Reality, now her memories copy-cat
Deals her a hand of fate undesired, in her face it spat
She’s Proud and Strong. She Stands and fights
An invasion she will never again allow, not yesterday, not tomorrow, not tonight
Her spirit folds, weak, aged beyond her years
Walls once again put up built with bricks of her pains and fears
Tears tucked safely into her pocket, being saved for another day
Who would’ve guessed these tears burned strong, and it was her pocket they began to decay
Resurfaced now, the clouds overhead appear
And with no warning, it rained on her, every single saved tear
Family, a term reserved for those of the same home, face, blood
Supposed to lift you high above when you’re stuck in the mudd
Redefined, for god has mistaken
She finds her family, from birth they were probably taken
Stand for her, when her legs give way
Fight for her when she doesn’t know what to say
Lend her a pulse, when her heart falls off beat
Hold her hand when she’s scared to cross the street
Breathe for her when her lungs struggle to draw their next breath
Live for her when she’s an inch from death
