in the pouring rain

there is a little girl
i knew so long ago
never wanted to grow up
she was scared to look

the knowlege of death
love and inspiration
scared her to no extent
she knew she must be brave

so she put on her game face
tryed to act grown up
inside she never
thought she would get old

trembling in fear each day
she braved her way through life
minute by minute ticked by
getting older everyday

death scared her the most
she loved the earth
loved her friends family
and mostly her talents

but this little girl
never knew that life
could be so nice
and cruel at the same time

love was there
when she was older
maybe older
wasn't so bad

i remeber that girl
like it was yesterday
but she has grown
since then

but she is still scared
lonely and wanted
loving and sweet
and shrinking back

i am that little girl


and i will never grow old


inside i will always be


that same little girl


as so many years ago
even though
i am 13
i am still that little girl

~*Theres a sparkle in your eye that only i see, and theres a place in your heart where only i wanna be*~

I know the feeling of this one. When I was 16, I thought I knew everything in the world. Now I'm 20 and I'm scared and confused again. You're not alone in this, Riley.

Howl at the stars, whisper when you're sleeping, I'll be there to hold you, I'll be there to stop the chills and all the weeping.
