Little Girl in Michigan

There's a little girl

In Michigan, crying

For her parents,

For love they lost,

For anger they found

For her innocence,

Never to abound

There's a little girl

In Michigan, yelling

At her parents

With regret,

With tears,

With emotions torn

Apart over the years

There's a little girl

In Michigan, laughing

With her friends

The hole in her heart,

Her spirit,

Almost healed.

There's a little girl

In Michigan, hurting

Just a little bit

Because her family

Couldn't – or is it

Wouldn't? – accept the

Deviating part

Of her self description
