Youth by ~XxRogueRunnerxX:iconXxRogueRunnerxX:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Family Life > Open


The young girl looks around
and crawls across the bark
staring down into the water as if
it were made of fluffy pillows
ready to catch her if
the wind blew her cares to far away
to catch

I watch
Behind way too much glass to be able to warn her
that the fall will hurt, and shatter her views of a perfect world
My banging on the window
may shake her
Losing her balance
As I loose my mind

So I close my eyes and reveal
the White Knucles showing
through skin
As the young girl shakes me awake
to tell me
"I fell in"

Author's Comments

Im leaving for college soon, and looking at my 9 year old sister I have realized that I should have done more. More to show her how girls should act, and when to stop the attitude and to protect our mom (as I have done for so long). This poem is actually something that kinda happened.....it just reminds me of how helpless I currently feel.
