The Girl!!!

She was a girl
Who wanted to run
In the Wild
Sometimes leaving her
Sanity and run like a child

She was a girl
Who loved flowers, surprises
And love notes dropped
Around the corners

She was a girl
Who had her world
Beyond boundaries
And hoped someday
Someone would fulfill
Her eccentricities

She was a girl
Half mad
Looking out for someone
Who was her match

Words and expressions
Were her favorite of all
Which resonated passion
Without the need
To touch at all

Cut to now...

She is the girl
Who walks the path
With caution and thought

She is a girl
For whom
Family dinners, kids and in laws
Have taken the priority

She is the girl
Who shut her world
So that she shouldn't be bothered

She is the girl
Who is now mature and sane
Her eccentricities locked away
And the key lost somewhere

But she is still the girl
For whom
Words and expressions
Are her favorite of all
Which resonates passion
Without the need
To touch at all

  1. Nice work!
    I like the way how the transition comes about in the character. Change, after all, is the only constant in life.

    "And love notes dropped / Around the corners" - loved these two lines.

    Also, I think you could replace the "Cut to now..." with a series of dashes to send the message across that this is a break in the poem.
