Little girl
did you forget
that you grew up?
Once upon a time
what you wanted did not matter
frightened you might mention
an issue of contention
just by a word, a suggestion
and then wait with trepidation
for angry retaliation
from your closest relation
Is it time to break this?
Little girl,
you are all grown up now.
The world might still not care
about what you want or what you need.
But only You
can honour You.
And you have to start somewhere.
