a thousand wishes

A little girl

My hands are still shaking from the panic attack

my ears are still ringing from the shame

I\'m still wincing from the pain

beating on the walls, the voices in my brain

trying to calm me down but Im standing out in the rain

 

and it hurts to know

that I\'m on the cusp of letting go

it hurts to know

that the words never really flow

 

and my heart wants to up and leave me alone

my heart wants a new home

My brain wants someone who will listen

and my soul just wants someone better

 

When they leave

all that remains 

is a lifeless body

that can never be saved

 

My biggest fear consists of smaller ones

a million little doubts, together as one

A daunting and ridiculously naive,

a little girl that looks like me and shes crying

 

Staring into space, but look there\'s her mom and she\'s sighing

\"Why can\'t you be normal?\" \"Why can\'t you be great?\"

leading her to think that she should change

 

a little girl that\'s been alone

no one is coming  to save her

a little girl that\'s on her own 

but surrounded by people that claim to love her

 

This little girl, sad and isolated

deprived of satisfaction, but never violent

 

A little girl that seems to be evil\'s personal target 

A little girl, that graduates next year but still feels 5 years old

A young woman, A young adult, that feels like a little girl
