happily free

by Tiana - Aries

age five 
the cutest little smile
big brown eyes
playing with her dolly
outside
her dolls name was megan
that's what she like to call her
she made things better
when her mommy and daddy would fight
but things weren't always bad
her daddy use to take her to the park
and she would swing high in the air
so high
that her curls would bounce 
and she would laugh and laugh
until she couldn't breathe
she liked feeling like that 
it made her feel happy
it made her feel free
her mother use to sing to her
she had the voice of an angel
the whole apartment building
said she could be star
she was pretty like mariah
that's before the drugs
she would sing to her
and they would dance 
on top of the roof
her mother would hold her
and say i love you
and everything was good
she was so happy
when her mother danced
it made her feel free
she liked to see her happy
her brother  Zavier found a puppy
they called him chico
he was a mutt
but they loved him
he use to chase them around the house
wagging his tail
and barking loud
her daddy taught him how 
to fetch
he was a good dog
that chico
he made her happy
he made her feel free
she loved that little puppy
there was a time
when she always smiled
a time when her life was good
when she felt loved
now she wants to be happy
wants to be free
so she goes to the park
and swings high
oh so high
she laughs and laughs
until she can no longer breathe
and all her troubles leave
and she is once again happy
and for the first time she smiles
cause she knows things will be good
cause she is loved
and she is going to be okay
