The Little Girl

I saw a picture of my Mom when she was younger... :/

  The little girl,

  In the old

  Photograph is

  Wearing a knee-high

  Dress.

  The little girl,

  In the old

  Photograph has

  Blond hair.

  The little girl,

  In the old 

  Photograph looks

  Happy.

  Now the little girl

  Is an older women.

  The older women,

  Staring at me is

  Wearing ripped

  Track pants

  And a black sweater.

  The older women,

  Staring at me has

  Grey greasy hair.

  The older women,

  Staring at me is

  Crying. 

  She is too young

  To look this old.

This piece, in all of its simplicity, is full of meaning and truth.
The innocense of a child, of simple memories ripped from her
by the harsh, unforgiving hands of time.
I could write forever about this topic, but luckily, I have other people to do it for me, and you summarized it very well...wow...this is definetly going into my library!

Tells a story, how life can age us too quickly.

An interesting write. Lots of time life gets to you and before you know it you are wise beyond your years, and not neccesarily in a good way. 'She is too young/To look this old.' was my favorite line. Very well done and thank you for writing!

I can totally relate to this on so many levels.
It sucks, like I would go into so much detail here but I can't.
I'd start crying and don't want to pour all my feelings out to you.

I'd feel bad.
great write dear

I love it...
Seems hollow though, like you were really sad when this was written.

This was so sad. I'm sorry you had to see this. Still, it was a beautiful poem.

I love the format of this poem, the repetition and the last two lines are real zingers! Well done!

I love how you placed it on this poem, the format of how we change as we grow and yet we continue to be the same.
