I am a girl
scared and fragile
I am naive and innocent,
yet, protective of my surroundings
I am inquisitive and curious of what makes you human

I want to see the world through your eyes
and partake of your knowledge

I want you to break me out of this
child-like state that I am stuck in
Yet, I want you to be my protector;
for I feel safest when I am in your arms

I want you to feel the way I do for once

You seem to be this pillar of strength,
but you can crumble at any minute

I want to be the one to pick up your pieces
and place themback to where you
are whole and can truly feel again

When that happens, this scared little girl
will become the woman she has always
wanted to be
