At the edge and a doorway,TX

Once I was a little girl
Hiding in a woman's body
Never did I know how it would feel to grow up
Grow old
Grow out
Grow away from these feelings locked inside
Everything will be all right
A phrase heard over and over in my head
Too much crowded my mind
I had to let go
Lose control
My thoughts
My hopes
My dreams
This secret place took me away broken and bold
Teasing and turning wearily
Back to the place where I belong
Once I was a little girl
Who had wishes galore
Now here I am
A woman
Laying in this place in space
Dying

Love,
Lady


Live in my world just once and you'll find yourself enraptured.

I am so glad I found this....thank you for this...it means a lot to me...right now

This is sadly haunting my dear. We are all children inside, I hope we never lose that...and it's sad when that child realizes the truth about growing up.
