the little girl

   
my sadness today    
is bittersweet    
melancholy flavor    
with a hint of grief    
    
I feel ineffectual    
at reaching anyone    
with a soft spoken voice    
I speak    
getting overlooked
most of the time    
    
then you walked in    
giving me attention    
you reached my heart    
I'm unsure if you meant to    
    
with a hurt that's real    
I whisper to you    
this is the real me    
don't tell anybody    
    
because if they knew    
I was so gentle    
they would crush    
the little girl I'm hiding    
    
who sings her song quietly    
to souls such as yours    
you're a true gift to me
