Suffering Salvation

Little girl terrified She smiles as glittering tear drops down All defined, labeled, and identified She blinks as she watches them drown Observing people through her bright eyes Thinking about the clock counting down the seconds as they pass She looks up and sees the stars painting the skies The stars are cluttered to a mass Though she hasn't changed anything People tell her to let them be But she pretends she wasn't watching They say she's lost at sea She's floating in darkness, she's finally free at least as free as someone like her could be
