A Little Girl Was Brought Into This World

by Nicole M. - Gemini

A little girl was brought into this world
  not by luck or chance
but out of need 
   a little bit of destiny

Everyone said
  beautiful baby
 content
   pure happiness beamed from inside
an endless smile
  rich chocolate curls
  many people lost themselves
in her fluid eyes

she knew
  she had a purpose in this world

bit by bit
 as people came
and people went
  she
died
in this little girl
  her pure glow
became dim and tainted
 she could no longer
hold up her head

 she resorted to
     hollow 
  humane 
gratifications
  then looked in disbelief
this image was not her's

no longer
  did people find fanscination
in her existance
 the adoration
had escaped from her ears
  and her eyes

instead
    in was replaced
by complaints and boredom

rotated those predictions
  so many times
she eroded away
her own face
  
it was never an apiphany  
  not even an explosion
but 
  it gently tickled her head
 and whispered 
to rebuild

Phoenix rays
  of the child
she felt them
  start to drain
the grey

the stains are bleaching
  shes putting herself back in place

the purity and sincerity 
  blends
with knowledge and clarity

her eyes are once again
   gateways
instead of mirrors
