She sits quietly in the corner of her bedroom. <br />Windows and curtains shut. <br />Smudged make-up filthies her young face. <br />Tears crystallize in an eternity of regret. <br />Shivers run up her spine. <br />Memories are recalled. <br /> Guilt fills her and the pain becomes unbearable. <br />She feels dirty. Unwanted. Useless. <br />She sits in her dark, dark room. <br />Alone. <br />Scared. <br />Waiting for Death to bring his carriage. <br />Because no one understands. <br />No one cares. <br />No one believes.<br /><br />Cheré Mason<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fears-of-a-little-girl/
