A/N: I started watching "Higher Ground" re-runs on the dish channel WAM because A.J. Cook is my favorite actress. That really is a great show, too bad they took it off the air. Anyway, I wrote this poem today in Latin (as in, the class not the language) because I've only seen two episodes of the show so far so I can't really write a long fic yet. I'm not really good at poetry and I didn't mean for it to really "rhyme" but it kinda flowed that way. Set after the episode "Babe in Arms" when Shelby is sitting on the bear statue.
Little Girl Lost
Alone in body and mind
Secrets locked away inside
Hard, self-reliant and curt
Building strong walls to keep out the hurt
Relationships unimportant, fodder for pain
Remembrance of what can be taken away
Tough on the outside, uncaring to all
Protecting herself from taking a fall
Beaten and torn, no safety in sight
No reverie to break through the darkest nights
Forced aside, a lost girl that the world forgot
No concern from family, only false love that must be bought
No mother's touch or words of love
Forced into the shadows, living in the dark
A world of hurt and a broken heart
Alone in the cold, dark and pain
A little girl lost
