The Lost Girl

entry picture

A lost soul 

not so bright 

never done wrong

but not always right

 

Lost in the woods

in her dazzling mood

going against the world

she thought she could

 

I heard she was sad 

maybe she lost her dad

in early age 

she got trapped in a cage

 

Society used to tell her 

what she had to be 

but she never believed 

and went after her dreams

 

In the world where everyone was mean

she wanted to make 

a change and make world 

a better place to be 

 

Happiness enfolded 

right in front of her eyes

when she stopped caring 

if people think she was nice

Nice poem, I especially like the last stanza as I can really relate.
