Girls in pigtails

Story untold

Little robin

Silver jewellery turning green

Chocolate on my lips

Tears on my pillow

Sick sweaty feeling at my throat

Candle blown out

Don’t take me down

19

Dream taken away by my own laziness

Pigtails and dream dusted and faded

I can’t see a future past this

Tears on my hand and no where to hide

I have dreams

But no strength to make it happen

Bruises under my skin

I feel alone sometimes

Cry before I sleep

Feel a cold feeling of dread

I chose my own fate no one has taken anything away from me

I forced my feet in to the ruby slipper and walked alone the yellow bricks

Slipping and not noticing the way I turned and twisted down the wrong roads

My breast hurt today the pain stopped me walking a pulled my body down to a curl

Sharp breaths were taken

19 and failing in life

I have a dream

I know I’ve lost it

I want to go back and slap my self in the face and warn my self the future hold this for me

Girls in pigtails

Chipped nail varnish and a hole day to day dream

Soft blonde hair from the doll rapped round my fingers as I watch TV

Family party and I can sit

And talk to another girl my age

Nothing mattered

Talk and talk

Laugh joke

Nothing needed to be judge

We are two kids talking eating jam tarts

But life isn’t that simple now

19

I have to change the way my life is going

But I just don’t feel strong enough
