A Child's Tears - a Poem

Kelli Stowe
In a dark closet she hides,
Her mommy and daddy are fighting again.

She is so afraid that she is trembling inside,
Wishing that she has never been.

She closes her tear filled eyes tight,
And covers her ears with her hands.

Wishing with all her might,
That she was in a fairy tail land.
