Those toes will never know the feel of a ballet shoe.
The sunlight that scorches through the clouds; she will eat that too.
One year old, barely two, the gatekeepers of her stomach keep shovelling it through.
Cannonballs of sugar fired into her veins - parents holding the wick, preparing to flicker.

And she will charge straight into the gates of hell.
And you will lose her, and she will lose herself.
Use your lightsaber, not as a way to cut her dreams in two, but to illuminate her chances of getting through this life without being broken into a million different pieces by all those sticks and stones.
