Tears For "The Little Girl"



Oh I cry tears for the little girl
who seems to be trapped. A little
girl that is empty and often unseen.
A little girl that is quite helpless
whether or not you believe. Her cries
go silent but yet seem to scream with
a hunger and mourning and a longing to
be free. The little girl's screams
seem to echo and are etched in her
mind which now seems to be empty
leaving cobwebs behind. Oh I cry tears
for the little girl who seems to be
mournful for the pain she would endure
and the words that were scornful. Oh I
cry tears for the little girl who is
filled with a deep fear. A fear that
would haunt her for the rest of her
life. A fear that is quite stagnant
and sets deep in her sight. Forever
haunting her and possibly
ending her life.

    The other way to show that you care however, there's nothing you can do about someone's misfortune. This awesome!
