Little Girl*

by lost in lovee   Apr 2, 2007


Little girl growing up,
Her father in and out of her life.
Every time he's around
All she hears is yelling and screaming all night.

Little girl crying,
In her bed late at night,
Praying for everything to get better,
Holding her pillow tight.

Little girl struggling,
Getting through some days,
Hasn't seen her father in two years
While he's locked away.

Little girl realizing,
She might never see him again,
So she picks up a pen, thinking to herself,
"This won't be the end."

    A lot of children grow up in violent households where parents drink to much or always fight. Sometimes they even turn out just like their parents and do it to their children which is scary. I think our children want to be just like us and in most case don't have a choice. Some people just aren't meant to have kids. Nicely done

    I enjoyed reading this, the depth and emotion behind the words are clear for all to see.
    I thought the flow was good and the ending was such a good way to wrap this poem up.

    I really liked this one...it is difficult to come to terms with loving/wanting to be around someone who has caused you pain or fear...I have dealt with this with both a father and a boyfriend...(not necessarily the locked-up part, but the missing someone who has caused you harm/fear) and you put it into words quite eloquently...great poem!

    A bit short...butr a great poem!....loved how it ended...actually..the whole last stanza
    i think u have a mistake
    "she might never see he again"
