Your emereld dress is beutiful.
But
You seem so fidgety.
The cake right next to you.
You don't care about the decorations.
You are Too young to want those yet.
You just want some of the cake.
You wait.
You don't smile in the picture.
Too shy and too worried
Worried
about not having some of the cake.
It looks delicious.
Part of that
is of course
the decorations.
You are too young to know yet.
People you think are nice you will change your mind about.
Because of stories.
Maybe the stories arn't true.
But you are Too young.
You just want cake.
It's okay too want cake. I?
I want cake.
But you?
You.
You want it.
You are behaved,
for a fidgety child.
But
You seem so fidgety.
The cake right next to you.
You don't care about the decorations.
You are Too young to want those yet.
You just want some of the cake.
You wait.
You don't smile in the picture.
Too shy and too worried
Worried
about not having some of the cake.
It looks delicious.
Part of that
is of course
the decorations.
You are too young to know yet.
People you think are nice you will change your mind about.
Because of stories.
Maybe the stories arn't true.
But you are Too young.
You just want cake.
It's okay too want cake. I?
I want cake.
But you?
You.
You want it.
You are behaved,
for a fidgety child.

There is such an interesting plot to this poem!! I love how you circle back to the child being fidgety at the end, and the line, "Part of that is of course the decorations", as it adds even more to the poem!
