A Wrinkle in Time

The layers surround her little world
a world of pain
pain penetrating her layer by layer
penetrating her innocence
innocence never known by her little world
Known as life to her
life that she has always struggled to love
always feeling cheated
feeling within layers of her despair
despair is where she ended
ended, a get away, that was her only chance
get away her only way out
out of that numbing darkness, so silent
silent and alone no on to trust
this little girl left this world to learn
learn to love and be loved
even if only once.
