Youth crushed

By Melissa IngoldsbyPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

special, “she is special, I know it”

Youth crushed

A taste of fame, vicarious living in a Blue Moon

The taste is pretty and bitter

It’s a bitter Blue shadow

Her soul is recognized on airwaves

Crushed like roses petals in a hurricane

She rolls out the washing machine with her momma

Did you see her tears roll out

Did you get to see the soul in her song?

Youth crushed

Banished

Toiled for lost comfort

Never spoken

Lost in translation

Muttering Spanish pretending to understand

Unfair,

Destroyed

On a roof top

Living in a shadow

Forever soaked

In Blue Moon
