Hush Little Girl
To Our Young Queens… We HEAR You
We SEE You
We LOVE You Please ALWAYS Remember Your Worth, and Know That You Are NEVER The CAUSE For Anyone Else’s ACTIONS…
They were always quick to yell, “Hush little girl!”
“Stop running off at the mouth!”
“Why you always hangin’ round us grown folks anyway?”
No one ever realized the little girl had something to say
She wanted someone to really listen to her pain
So she’d go on and on for hours rambling or telling jokes
As the words she silently screamed made her choke
Hoping someone would listen
Maybe even see a glimpse of sadness as she spoke
But as always she was dismissed to silenced
“A child should be seen and not heard”
“Be quiet, go sit down somewhere”
No one would listen to the nightmare she had to share
“Now don’t say another word till that big hand is on the 3”
In silence her mind rambled 1000 times, “Listen to me!”
Sitting motionless in grave despair
She gazed the clock in a hypnotic stare
Her enraged soul once again reached death ears
Tick-tock; tick-tock
Twirling the beads in her hair…. she whispered
“Why won’t they listen to me?”
“He touched me and…and I didn’t like it”
“He wouldn’t stop and now it hurts down there”
Her legs began to fidget as the thoughts raced through her head
Scratching at the sofas fabric till her fingers turned red
Tick-tock; tick-tock
Soon it will be 3 and I can get out of here
….Back to my childhood where no one seemed to care
