She was a little girl whom they loved by Adleen Sequeira

She was a little girl whom they loved

She was a little girl whom they loved when she excelled 
She was a little girl whom they loved when she was silent She was a little girl whom the love when she was obedient
She was a little girl they loved until she spoke up for herself 
Until she said NO
Until she questioned 
She was a little girl whom they loved just because she wasn't her
She was a little girl whom they loved just because she couldn't be heard 
Wish she could scream,take a stand, show her scars and be the way she was 
Wish she could be the little girl whom they loved without any conditions 
Wish she could be the little girl  whom they loved without any expectations.
