Being a Child was not always what it seemed!
My world was not full of hopes,
My heart was not full of dreams.
There was no ice cream parlor,
Where every one else went
My little secrets that no one knew!
Always went to sleep with my heart full of fear!
Always wiping away my last little tear!
Always searching for love,
And no one was around.
And searching for help that couldn't be found.
It was going to sleep and wanting to die!
How much more could I cry?
It was closing my eyes and wishing him gone.
It was minding my heart where it had been torn!
It was taking a bath to wash it way
Only to find it was there to stay!
It was wanting my mother to protect me at night.
It was wanting her arms to hold me tight!
There was no money and cokes and basketball cheers,
I spent the nights with my heart full of fears!
There was no laughing playing and having fun,
They were never a part of being young!
My world was full of lost hopes and shattered dreams.
My childhood life was not what it seemed!
