A little girl comes home crying
This little girl is in pain
though no scratches are on her body
her tears fall down like rain.
Her clothes are falling off of her
there are holes in her shoes
Her hair is dirty and full of lice
she suffers from abuse.
But no one sees what happens
No one ever sees what she sees
The chemicals invading her little lungs
Her parents dying of man-made disease...
So the little girl gets up every morning
And rushes off to school
Hungry and strange looking
to all of those who think they`re cool.
They call her names like nappy head
They call her names like BITCH
They call her names like little whore,
We`ll kill you if you snitch!
The little girl grows up some more
and now she is a teen
she doesnt know where she`ll end up
but apparently everyone knows where shes been.
She walks past a group of people
and they know that she can hear
they call her those same names again
plus a new one = "Queer" .
They dont see the way she cries
when shes in her bed at night
and they dont see her life
and how hard it is to fight....
This little girl is grown up now
This little girl can see....
That there is some good inside this world,
Because that Little girl is me.

This reminded me of a girl I went to school with. Kids are the cruelest of all humans I believe. I'm glad that this ended on a more positive note and that you were able to see that not everyone is cold and heartless. I hope your life has taken a more positive turn...Take care and Blessed be.

This was an excellent poem and very emotional. I liked it very much.

Excellent
I cried this was very heart felt and deep every word as you spoke emerged in my mind what pain and sorrow you endured and to share that you need not be called names you are beautiful inside and out.
-
Wow this poem is very deep...one of those poems that leaves you speechless at the end...I think this will have a deep impact on anyone who reads it.
-
This is really really good.

a good piece, made me think of smoking at the beginning, passive smoking, a sad story, well written piece, still you ae here now, go and smack them with a wrench lol
-
omg
i really liked it...it shows how some people in this world are today and then you have very few who actually give a care -
A tale of sadness and pain, ending with hope-
"That there is some good inside this world,"
Little girls should be loved, cared for, nourished. Its never too late.

Beautiful yet shockingly sad
Raw...intense....shocking...rhythmic....beautifully heart beaking.
I pray you have found that you can have a future, even though you didnt have a childhood.
Life is what you make of it.

wow
"They dont see the way she cries
when shes in her bed at night
and they dont see her life
and how hard it is to fight...."
You are so right. Those who discriminate or hate other people are typically clueless to the damage it causes. I have spent many nights crying and unable to fall asleep, and I know how this feels. It hurts really bad. I am sorry you have had to go through this.
It's written beautifully, and it's really just amazing. Thanks for the entry.
Lauren
