The Truth About Gina

Human Drama


Gina tries to understand 
Why she holds so little in her hand 
And how she can't remember 
What has passed through 

A mirror finds wet Gina's eyes 
For reasons unidentified 
And if you ask her why 
She says, "I never cry" 

But far behind 
Her calm expression lies the truth 

An image of a little girl 
Flashes now in an older world 
Before she was taught to need 
And learned to want 

You can ask but never understand 
The pain as my innocence burns 
She says "I was made a child 
That is what I am" 

But far beyond 
Her pale white skin lies 
The truth she denies 
So not to face her battered innocence 
Little memories carry her away 
For every beginning there must be an ending 
So to the child she returns
