Real Girl
January 14, 2013
She wore lilacs in her hair,
And smiled at the ground,
Her smile was crooked,
Her hair knotted,
But she was real.
Her laugh was pure,
Her movements lacked grace,
She stumbled over words sometimes,
But she was not fake,
She had fire in her eyes.
That fire fueled her dreams,
Ruled her mind,
She got lost sometimes,
And she longed to wander incessantly,
But the real world always came calling.
Calling the real girl,
Back from her travels.
