Grew Up Too Soon: Part I

432af-sadness

I.

One day, I stepped into an anonymous sea
and my pores were pricked with the salt of tears;
my heart stopped and shock dragged me underneath,
and when I reemerged, I was covered with the blood
of generations of innocence lost,
and then my heart broke
as I traveled back, thinking
about the little girls
who grew up too soon.
