A Girl
Crystal lakes inside soulless eyes,
Snow melting on limbs of weakness,
Fiery gold cascading from overhead,
A pinch of “self hate”
A pinch of “self questioning”
A pinch of “Bad Mistakes”
Scars from the sharpest words,
Sexualization from a young age,
Just to be labeled “Jail bait”,
This is what makes me, a Girl.

Dear BN,
Your poem made me think how very unsettling that had to have been and how that shaped your thoughts and behaviors. Your poem has a lot to say about manners and appropriate actions taken by others. This is a loaded write in such a brief poem. Well written. Welcome to DU. H🌷

I am still letting the words of your poem sink in, BN. It's such an impactful subject matter, steeped in poignant brevity. Even your title pulls at me and has me aching... This brave piece, says a lot about your strength and resilience. I appreciate that difficulty and I thank you for sharing. (sending peaceful vibes)
