The Lockdown Blues

The Ghost Child

The Ghost Child

 

I see the shape of the lonely girl

Solemnly counting her steps alone

 

A good child, all agreed

But a changeling nonetheless

Riding life’s storms

With passions deep and unresolved

 

Always questioning, never finding answers

Why am i here, what happens next?

 

My ghost child sits within me

I accept her pain

Do my best to comfort her,

Keep her safe and cocooned
