Hey mister
Where are you going
While she’s showing
Her wares on the corner
 
Hey lady
Why are you pretending
So condescending
While they try to own and disown her
 
Hey sister
Why are you judging
While she’s trudging
Each day a mourner at her own waking
 
Hey brother
Why are you staring
While she’s fearing
Of tomorrows new found aches
 
Hey father
Why are you hiding
While she’s confiding
Of a lack of and more than a hug
 
Hey mother
Why are you crying
Always lying
About the girl who never sleeps with her clothes on
 
The Truth Is
 
Her lines are perfect
For more than a bed
Her covers blown
Still she wants to be read
 
Fast and hard
Or slow with meaning
Each day breathed in
Like a page turned in a braille bible
 
Till then she’ll dance
All night long
And for a price
She’ll sing her song
 
While she waits for the one
Who truly wants to listen
To the girl
Whose heart cries
