Little Girl. Poem by Henal Jasani

Turn out the lights
let it be dark
says a little girl
so that I can cry out my heart

I am feeling so lost
And I don't want to be found
Her heart was longing for someone
but no-one came around

Not a friend to hug
nor a foe to fight
family was miles away
she thought her luck was tight

No-one bothered to stop by
no-one bothered to care
tired, confused, depressed
all alone she sat there

Tears pouring down
from her little cold eyes
fragile hands now tired
ceasing to roll them by

I don't know where to go?
The sun never shines
but she kept trying to live
because she was not ready to die

Tripping over problems
all throughout the day
if only there was someone
to help her on her way

Just a single friend
who would really be there
but none of the kind found
to which her heart tears

A sad and lonely life she lives
so she sits in the dark and weeps
cuts her arms a little
and wishes her heart would cease to beat

Now her frail body
lies limp and dead on the floor
a sense relief passed through her mind
and aboard she went for a peaceful tour...
