Just a girl

An Original! I'm quite pleased with myself I must say. For it's been a while, since I've been this dark and twisty...

I’m just a girl
With a pair of eyes
Who has seen a side of life
Of slums and scums
But never the writings on the wall.

I’m just a girl
With a set of ears
Who have heard
Dreams and fairy-tales
That which has yet to come true.

I’m just a girl
With a pair of lips
That has tasted kisses
As sweet as red berries
But also bled from tears unshed.

I’m just a girl
With a set of hands
That has held a child
And clutched at straws
Only to have to let go at the end of it all.

I’m just a girl
With a pair of legs
That has walked countless miles
Towards goals and dreams
That took off in hasty flight.

I’m just a girl
With a heart
That’s still beating
Though so scarred
Yet still wanting to give.

I’m just a girl
No different from any others that you’ve met
For they too have heard the tales
Or sung the songs
Or read the books
Except that what they heard, sang and read about
Were all authored by ME.
