Espidril.
Little girl.
Alone and Scared.
In the Real World.
Twirl and Dance
A silent show
Close your eyes
And feel the flow
Of the pain,
he put you through
of the bleeding,
that feels so new
espidril
little girl
droll and scared
in the real world
dance and sing
along with me
hold my hand
and you will see
a certian place
all bad thoughts go
when you know
you're all alone
espidril.
Little girl.
Alone and Scared.
In the Real World.
Dressed in lace
and silvertone
running fast
away from
to surpass the guilt
of undertows
she indeed
implied you know
family ties
torn down
by stepfather's
scary frown
Watch them grin
watch them snide
watch them fear you
hide behind
Me my dear
you're not alone
but be scared
in angel's glow
espidrill
little girl
alone and scared
in
the
real
world.

Just a question: Is there a reason why there is punctuation in some places and not in others? Is it to alter the flow of the poem?
-
-
yes, it is. I did it that way on purpose.
the picture inspired me to write about a girl who was having problems at home and was running away. The broken likes are that of staggered breath.
so....read it again, kinda in a sing song voice like

I have to say, wonderful flow and rhyme, the way everything is put together but still, in a way, keeps me guessing which makes me think about your words. I really love the lines:
"espidrill
little girl"
Though I think it's espadrille.
Still, very nice!
Good luck<3
