How much trouble can a ninety pound girl be?
How much will it cost-
My peace of mind
My career, all my assets
to find the way through the web
Found her broken
Snatched her from the mind spiders
For a chance to hold her close
A chance at Serenity
Way to travel, to unravel the lies inside
Her precious head
The way they used her
Her beauty weaponized; her grace striking face
I will find a way
To cast away
Her dance of death
I still see my sister
I still believe in her
The goodness of her heart
How she hates
The price they will pay
To get her back
The things she does
When they press the buttons
Only they know how to press
They took Christmas away
Two by two, hands of blue
Hates what she has done
The things she catches in the web
Of her dreams
Things no one should have to deal with
I'm only trying to run
Trying to run from Trouble
Flee to the Stars
To the ragged margins
Nothing special
The thing any Brother would do
How much trouble can a ninety pound girl be?

Nice Write
I really like how you framed the poem with the same line. It helped the poem come around full circle.

Oh, you captured the angst,
the hurt, the desperate attempts
to hold it all together for her,
the ninety pound girl.
I played the music and read again.
Yes, trouble, but not too much
for the caring person who speaks
in this piece.
Well done!!!!!!!

Thank you. Did you see any of the series? Its called Firefly. You can watch the episode on Hulu. Takes about 44 minutes. The series only lasted one season. The girl who plays the actress was a ballerina.
