Marie’s Little Girl
Marie’s Little Girl
I gave it my all
till I had nothing left,
Then I remembered
I hadn’t given myself.
I reached inside
a light came on,
What I thought I still had
was suddenly gone.
Here I stand
alone in the dark,
Trying to mimic the feeling
of an arrow reaching its mark.
I’ve got the “know how”
just don’t know “when to”,
Procrastination, procrastination
is all I ever do.
I struggle & strive
to reach for fame,
Can’t let my words die
can’t let this all merely be in vain.
I will be triumphant
My words will be heard,
I will reach the masses
For I am “Marie’s little girl”.
