Where are you
The caring little girl
I once knew
To the young woman
Who pushed me away
Shouting
“You’re not family
You never were.”
But I bandaged
A hundred “owies”
And did my best
To scare
The monsters away?
Where are you
The little girl
That used to love
To laugh and dance
And begged to
Come and stay?
Where are you
The baby who
I held and watched
In awe,
Promising
I would do
The things
Aunties do?
Where are you,
Buried under
The armor of
Hate and pain,
Waiting to come
Out
Once more?
