Little girl

Location

I'm still the lost little girl i was before
running in circles,
searching for someone to help
looking for honest and loyalty
looking for the warmth and joy in just one smile
looking for love and someone to treat me with respect
but instead i get pushed and shoved
kicked down because of the color of my skin
bullied because of how i look 
no one understands this curtain in front of me
it'll take a lot before i open it and show what i have to share with the world
its the fear of showing people who i am is what holds me back
what if the don't like it?
what if i'm not good enough?
the questions i ask myself everyday 
ill be that lost little girl until someone comes to say its ok
open up that curtain little girl 
the audience awaits
