Half-Healed

Little broken girls
Fighting endless fights;
Hiding from those
Cold, paralyzing nights.

Little broken girls
Skeletons in closet;
Fights still not forgotten,
Memories despondent.

Little broken girls
Hiding from their parents;
Putting up more walls,
More damage than apparent.

Older half-healed girls
Still closed-off and cold.
Brick walls falling down.
Ghosts of the past
Long to forget,
Those half-healed girls.
