The next one stepped forward, a heartbeat older now. She had curves of an hourglass, but it looked like the sand was falling. She still had a small smile with eyes that were screaming she wanted to run as she had a video game controller in her hands.
“Embrace the thrill, dive deep into the game,
Each level conquered echoes like a heartbeat’s proud refrain.
But time, relentless, spun you forward, the innocence unwound,
“Now you’re older, there’s power in the fight you’ve found.
Dive into those pixels, where courage blooms and gleams,
Each battle fought in silence, each victory crafted from dreams.
Does Daddy still see you as his radiant princess? Can he hold your shining crown,
Or is that weight too heavy, dragging you down?
With every leap and challenge,
Will he hoist you high
Or will love fracture beneath the weight of every unkind lash?
You hear the echoes of Momma and Daddy, voices laced with strife—
Is this the essence of love, two souls locked in combat, their hearts bruised and torn,
While blood stains the canvas, like the battles you have seen on your games.
And when Daddy’s anger spills over, and you feel that crushing blow,
Will you rise from the ashes, or let the darkness steal your glow?
Find strength in your spirit, let your heart reclaim the scene.
For within you lies a warrior, fierce and unafraid to stand,
So take your leap out of the pixelated world, and make your own command. "
