Reminiscence

a little girl sits waiting, 
on a beat-up plastic chair, 
her chubby fingers playing, 
with her ugly boy cut hair, 
theres a problem with her mother, 
who gave up on her dreams, 
she sit there at the computer, 
not noticing her daughter, it seems, 
she’s working on away, 
to get what she doesn’t want, 
she forget about her daughter, 
and the thing that she may want, 
the poor little girl is like a stray, 
she’s not healthy, she’s not clean, 
she’s not playing little-girl games, 
she’s not a tiny queen, 
she just sits on her dingy bed, 
watching the other kids play, 
the amazing thing is that in her head, 
she knows she’ll be happy some day.
