Mindscapes - Adolescent Expression | [Poem] Bring Back the Girl with Stars in Her Hair

Bring me back the girl with stars in her hair 
Who doesn’t cling to memories like a doll, 
And doesn’t carry past mistakes 
As burdens upon her soul. 

Who knows how to love, and cherishes the now, 
Not always chasing a sweeter time somehow. 

Who has true friends, boys and girls alike, 
And loves to be with them—that’s what matters most, 
Who doesn’t speak of childhood like some old crone 
Talking of a lovely memory long lost. 

Oh, if only I knew where she might hide, 
Vanished at sunset, like a bird in flight... 
Bring back the girl with stars in her hair 
Who lives her life with a smiling light.
