The Girl I Lost

Five years old

Full of life 

But somewhere along the way 

Life happened 

And long gone was that little girl 

With a free spirit 

And endless amounts of joy 

Her eyes were always glassy

Her heart had been broken into millions of pieces 

She just existed 

And never truly felt like she was living 

Loved by no one 

Or so she thought 

Her heart longed for acceptance 

Her soul had been crushed over and over 

Gone was the girl I once knew 

Her heart withered like a flower but she still loved with all of her heart 

She forgave those who caused her pain 

But she was never the same 

To the girl I lost and never found again, 

Stay far away

Because in the end 

It made me stronger
