I was just a

stupid little girl 

life was a just a

pretty little swirl

I didn't know the rules.

All I saw were jewels.

and

I didn't know that trust

was a sword full of rust,

just as spoken,

quickly broken.

I didn't know that

every deed here

had a price

I didn't know that

every weed here

had a vice.

I didn't see the tight surrounding box of glass,

the perfect plastic lawn I could never trespass.

I didn't know that 

I was screaming to the wind.

I didn't know that

sinners always sinned

I know its

so obvious,

yet I was

oblivious.

No. I'll get older.

but I'll remember.

"I know, I know

On that most fateful day.

in an assuring way,

I

will

win"

with a grin

For now

I'll write and write

for worst,

to shine the light.

'Cause

I'm

just 

a 

stupid

little

Don't blame me.

Don't shame me.

I'm just a

stupid

little 

girl.
