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
