Hey Little Dragon,
Why do you seem so sad?
Is it because you believe it when
You’re always told you’re bad?

What’s wrong Little Dragon?
Why do you always cry?
Is it because whenever you speak,
They tell you that you lie?

Look at me, Little Dragon,
Why do you lower your eyes?
Why is it when I compliment you,
You always seem so surprised?

Come here, Little Dragon,
Why do you recoil away?
I see when someone comes near you,
You want to move away.

Chin up, Little Dragon,
Why do you bow your head?
Why is it, when someone raises their voice,
Your stomach fills with dread?

Tell me, Little Dragon,
Why do you seem so scared?
Is it because no one’s ever come up to you
And told you that they cared?

Hey Little Dragon,
I want to take you away.
I want to tell you you’re safe and loved.
But I can’t. Not today.


I’m sorry Little Dragon.
