The Little Poker Faced Lily

Disdain reeking from every corner of you... 

Why are you upset, Lily? Tell me, won't you? 

If it's something i said, i would have known anyway... 

Or did they not include you in their game, is it? Say? 

Is it the Christmas gift you never got last Christmas? 

There you shake your head again. Then why the fuss?

Please don't peev me like this, Oh, at least try!
What's got into you these days, oh my!

I heard you whimper in your sleep that night.

You cover up to your nose and keep on the lights.

And the tantrums you throw to get it your way!

You've got me all worried, God! What should i say?

You're just a child, what do you know 

of the hardships i face to keep up the show?

So better you blurt the ruddy secret out

or sulk away and keep that stupid pout. 

What do you know about growing up after all? 

If you did, you'll not want to grow up at all! 

Money, job, family, friends, yeah, all of 'em

are never there when you actually need them..

So kid, you're keepin' that poker face in vain,

Come on! I hate all this 'distress' you feign!

"Me not whimper. Me afraid.

Me praying so that my angel stayed.

Mommy, Me thinks there's something you should know
and why as the lights go, Me cover my head to toe.

Like the Ogre gobbles kids in that fairyland,
There are two hands that trouble me... those Ogrey dark hands. 

'Do me not so', Me cry and plead,

'Shh..' they say, or you might bleed.

They touch, they press, they hurt me tons,

Me shiver in horror and they have their fun.

Me dirty, Me evil, Me bad, and thats why

The angels don't stay with me when I cry.

M' friends go home, as the sun goes to sleep,

Who do Me tell, that dark gives Me creeps?

So Me cover my nose and keep the lights on,

hug Me little teddy and forget Me alone. 

Me just Lily. Me not know about growing.

But Me feel Me world also needs a knowing.

Me little secret's out, Mommy, now you would know

or whenever you get time from your life's sorrows...

So it's not about the gift Me dint get last Christmas, 

Me not want to peev you, Me also not want to fuss.

And when Me stamp my foot, Me only mean to say,

Lily loves you Mommy, please make all this go away..." :(
