Girl Who Cannot See

Little girl who could not see
Just how much people hated thee
Disrespectful commentary
Safe haven filled with jealousy

Scornful, muddied, smeared and stained
A shock of insults spreading pain
Twisted prejudice fuelling judgement
Angry shadows in their descent

Immobilised by broken glass
Snakes snapping within Eden's grass
The little girl just could not see
How ugly this world can really be

Others join the battalion
Spears and arrows, knives of hate
Armour up and join the troops
Against the girl who cannot see

Waiting for the next blow
Disorientated, dejected
Unjustified
To the girl who cannot see

Perhaps this wasn't meant to be
There is beauty in the solitary
Finding our own sanctuary
Come, girl who cannot see
