. just a little girl .
. life on the streets - no life for a little girl.
life at home - no life for a little girl.
Mama doesn't love you and you got no Daddy. Or too many daddies. Mama brings home 'friends' every night. They kiss Mama like a daddy ought to, but they don't love you. Don't bring no hugs and kisses and silly trinkets for their little princess, like they ought to.
'Cept some nights. Some nights Mama's friends, your daddies, creep from Mama's bed in search of Mama's little girl. Then they want to play. Don't want to play, best make yourself scarce.
Hide under the bed. Spiders taunt, climbing up skinny limbs. But spiders are better then the groping hands and harsh breathing of Mama's friends.
Mama's not much better then her friend's. Carelessly cruel slaps or overbearing, choking embraces - depending if Mama got her supply of what she called her faery dust.
Ringlet curls dirty and matted; Mama used all the hot water and little girls aren't allowed to bath in cold, cause then they get sick and Mama can't pay for that so you die. Left rotting on the street for the mice and cats - so Mama says.
Ivory complexion marred by a myriad of bruises; hunger churns and you ate a piece of bread. That was Mama's. Your a bad girl, Mama says, you have to be punished.
One day Mama doesn't come home. No more smacks. No more beatings. No more screamings. Abandoned. Alone.
So you leave.
Scat, as Mama called him, the scrawny kitten you found in an alleyway one day tucked under one spindly arm. You live by wits and quick fingers.
And you don't trust no one.
.just a little girl .
