I was a little girl when
I traveled here
I was a little girl when
I didn't know a language
that everyone knows
I was a little girl who was scared of dogs
I was a little girl who had a fear of ghosts
Going to therapy was a thing that helped me a lot
I was a little girl when people made fun of me
I was a little girl when people bullied me
Time passed, forgetting when people hurt me
Time passed forgetting it all
