Acceptance

                                               vulnerable

                                               fragile little girl

                                               wrapped up in

                                               dress up clothes

                                               enough make-up

                                               to believe she's

                                               a grown up now

                                               all on her own

                                               glass heart

                                               clutched so tightly

                                               to her chest in fear

                                               of the unknown

                                               searching

                                               looking everywhere

                                               for that elusive

                                               dream world

                                               of what will be

                                               and what could

                                               be with the right

                                               prince charming

                                               awaiting

                                               the rescuer with

                                               the white charger

                                               & razor sharp sword

                                               confused

                                               and confined

                                               within self-made walls

                                               her tower of fear

                                               knowledge

                                               comes with time

                                               through tears, hurt

                                               & disappointment

                                               these dragons

                                               she must slay them

                                               alone & with pride

                                               with only herself by her side.
