"Soon All Will Be Better" The salt from her tears so bitter on her tongue Entrapped in solitude So restless and young Alone and in despair She whispers to herself, "It's Alright" Rolls to her side, turns out the light Bidding her troubles a fond goodnight Her eyes aching from tears which she has shed Restlessly she wrestles for comfort in her bed For a moment, there is an unshattered tranquility She rests comfortably at last Another day has passed, with little to show, Just wasted breath Motionless, she lies and remembers who she once was So wide-eyed and curious to see all Picket fenced dreams, so blissfully serene The little girl, beaming with a smile, for all to see Now submerged in an inner pain She vigorously struggles Isolated from the laughter that flows from others effortlessly Withdrawn from the love Convinced she can't be anything to anyone Soon all will be better she has heard them say- time and time again She wonders when and how as the pain won't subside "It's Alright", just get through another night.....
