Sixteen She Was (Henrieta's Song) Poem by Niko Tiliopoulos

She had the spring in her eyes.
She draw a rainbow with her smile.
She wore the earth on her hair,
she never thought, she'd keep them there.

She had a lion in her heart,
they could have never lived apart.
She grew a flower from coal,
she didn't know it was her soul.

She thought, she had so many friends,
though she could not read within their heads.
Believed that life was dark as night,
so she could not get up and fight.

Well, the road seemed tough,
and as she stood in its start
she could not see its end.

Thus she felt so blue,
cause she had no clue,
how one earth to work this out.
