Little One

Paula Mendoza

MS3, UC Irvine School of Medicine


You’re limping in,

You’re sweet and small

And next to you,

She’s standing tall

She answers for you

She says you fall

But the bruises on you

Don’t make sense

at all


I’m sorry this happened

But here we are

We ask all the questions,

We want to know why.

But nothing about what happened,

Would make any of this right.


I hope you’re safe now,

I hope you’re alright

I’m glad we met..

This was both of our fight
