a/n: just trying to suggest that there's a softer side to Reyna, that she's not all as bad as a lot of people think. also trying to suggest that she's been through a lot, and everything. sorry if this is really bad *shot* XD. it's written in Reyna's POV. Italics used to differentiate verses/stanzas


Little Me


Everyday, you see me, and I'm just

And ordinary girl

I'm cheerful, optimistic, mature—

I'm far older than my years

Sometimes I'll cry, when I'm thrown to the ground

But I'll bounce back up

And smile through my tears;

You'll find I'm quite resilient

But deep down inside,

Locked up in a box

That has long lost its key,

Is a little piece of me no one knows

I feel that with each passing day

That little piece of me is growing

It's shaking and pushing against the box—

It's threatening to break free

That piece of me is a little girl,

Who's loving, trusting, simple, naïve

She gets hurt so much more easily;

She's a vulnerable thing, really

Sometimes when I speak

I hear more than one voice:

One is Grown Up Me's,

The other is Little Me's

Sometimes I get mad or sad for no reason

And I know that it's Little Me's doing

But it's all Mature Me can do

To hold it in—just 'til I'm alone


a/n: so, how was it? did you like it? please read and review! :)
