Where Is She?
by Joan SerratelliWhere is she?
My happy little baby
Everyone's favorite kid
Where is she?
What happened?
Who poisoned her?
Who is responsible?
Me?
No-one told me
She changed
overnight
My beautiful good
little girl became
a teenager
Her life was
spiraling down
I knew something was wrong
Teenaged angst?
No- something was wrong
and it was my fault
I took her for help
She did not want help
You cannot get better
if you don't want help
and She kept getting worse
Trouble seemed to follow her
My good little girl
She paid for her sins
Will she ever be better?
Don't know
She keeps relasping
Where's my baby heading?
I'll Always blame myself
I tried to help
and I failed
I will never give up on her
I want her to have a good life
a happy life
I wish she wanted
the same
When the phone rings too late-
I jump
Where's my baby?
My beautiful funny little girl
I love her
TOO much
I want her
to forgive herself
I want ....
Her to find some peace
She needs to stop looking back
She's smart,
She's pretty
and she's just like me
no motivation
Where's my baby??
