I’m just a baby–

Innocent and needing comfort–

Crying myself

To sleep at night–

I’m just a little girl–

Lost and alone–

Spinning my Web of

Uncertainty–

I’m just an infant–

With so much to learn

Neurotransmitters gone wild–

I’m just a blur–

Mixed-up

With a million shades

Of red, blue, and black–

I’m just an illusion–

An image in the cracked mirror

Waiting for the pieces

To fall into place–

I’m just a girl–

Running for cover

Waiting for the next

Storm to come–

Burying my head

Deep in a hole

And losing myself

In the safety of darkness–

Because being alone

Sometimes feels safer

Than being loved–
