Little Red
In the woods where no one knows
Quite, where their road will go
Little girls in cloaks of white
Hope, to make it through the night
It's a long way to Granny’s house
Wolves prowl while they spin
Comforting Illusions to lure girls in
Lies etched in wicked grins
‘I love you’
It’s hard to see past
A caring mask
Until you’re
Already
Consumed
One little girl refused
to stay stomach-small
So she grew
And she ripped
And tore
And clawed
To escape her wolves enthrall
Her Grandmother never grew
So, she left
Cloaked in
A bloody
Red
