Little Girl

A Poem by Maddy

This is the first poem that I've written in almost 8 years, seems I had a long spell of writers block or rather lacking inspiration and the need to get my thoughts ans feelings on paper.

I’ve been set alight with burning
Reminiscent and oh so nostalgic
Wading waist deep in my searching
Through the most innocent yet haunted logic
The deepest of my dark, most concealed
And so long forgotten yearnings
Of a once unsure yet curious mind now revealed
In all of its beautifully heartbroken childhood magic

I’ve been connecting the dots
Deciphering the hidden meanings
Of those tainted banished thoughts
Making sense of the erratic feeling

Of a toneless tiny little voice
With a way before it’s time vision
Suffocating, cold and alone, inside the shadow of a soul
Of a once very shy, insecure and scared little girl
Forever haunted by consequence of choice
Fighting a lonesome yet unyielding addiction
For rightful freedom from control

I’ve finally pieced it all together
See the unchanged big picture
Of a life so long thought barely tethered
The final truth a most formidable fixture

The tiny voice now blessed with piercing rejoice
The misunderstood vision sparked into ignition
To consume the shadow and rip open bright burning focus
Of the once very shy, insecure and scared little girl
Now redefined, emerging with the most gentle manner of poise
Unique and steady as a one of a one limited edition
Transcending all with her infectious hocus pocus
