Behind Locked Doors

Oh innocent little girl,

Keep your purity intact,

Don't darken your wide blue eyes,

With a world that is scarred and cracked.

Oh sweet little girl,

Keep your words held back,

Don't let your thoughts be scorned,

By people within whom humanity lacks.

Oh blithe little girl,

Keep your twinkling smile hidden,

Don't let them use your charm against you,

For being yourself is now forbidden.

Oh flawless little girl,

Keep your soul immaculate,

Don't let them change who you are,

For being genuine today is a rare trait.

Oh fragile little girl,

Keep your weaknesses veiled,

Don't show them how easily you hurt,

Always keep your demons jailed.

Oh loving little girl,

Keep your face towards the light,

Don't let people decide your destiny,

Interpret life as a conundrum of esoterica.
