By a photo



By a photo, I saw her and for years I was intrigued by her eyes, beauty, her smile
Pondering if there was a chance, that she could ever be mine
By a photo I wondered what her life would be like
Was her past so bad, is she living right
Would I ever have a chance, is she worth the fight
By a photo, that wall that she hid behind, would she ever find
A peaceful refuge, that moment in time
That breath of fresh air
A time she could just be her, and no one would care
By a photo, being that mirror no one understood
I could not fathom what happened to her, no one really could
To be touched in way that God never allowed
Yet she hides behind selfies, trying to fool the crowd
By a photo, alone she sits
Remaining that chic, that no one really gets
Showing herself to world
Just wanting to understand her own life, and why someone
Would take something so precious from her as a little girl
“xpressurself"
