House of Girls

A whisper of a name in the dark

a shadow in the window frame

the giggles that ring out

fights start with a single shout

In a house full of girls

 

A misadventure called a lark

the games that never stop

cries of terror in the night

a hard glint of morning light

In a house full of girls

 

Spinning round till you fall down

stares that do not escape

knowing every name

each day is not the same

In a house full of girls

 

Learning to scream

with out a sound

loosing our gift,

one by one,

trading everything for a smallest chance,

even we will learn to dance,

in a house full of girls
