Little girl don't be afraid,
Afraid that you think this way,
Afraid that you know all these things,
These things that make the mystery.
Don't be afraid that the world is in your hands,
Spin it at your own speed,
Take anything you want,
Take anything you need.
Don't be afraid at these words that jump off the page,
Afraid to write rather than to say,
All these thought that you have,
Locked in your cage.
Little girl please don't be afraid to live this life,
this life that you only have one chance,
Don't be afraid to get out of your seat,
Afraid to get up and dance.
Little Girl
