A Child Lays

She lays in fear unknowing of what is to come to her..

Tears wanting to fall upon her face..

Tears wanting to escape from within..

She questions what her real age is..

Cause the games she plays are not those of a child..

Not ones of hide and seek..

Not ones of simon says..

The pain she feels is real..

Though she is told it is wrong..

So she pushes it down..

Beginning very young..

Sending many thoughts thru her head..

Sending so much pain in her heart..

he childhood was stolen against all her fights..

Fighting the only way she knew how..

So she goes inside herself..

There she will stay..

While wondering..

If who others see will ever be the real person she is again..

Will these hurts and fears she has been told are wrong over and over again ever be known??

Will she ever learn the right feelings??

What did this once innocent child do so wrong?

To make him play these not so child liek games with her?

To make her question the rights and wrongs//

Asking.......

Is this what love really is?

To be hit..

To be yelled at..

To be threatend..

To be hurt..

This child will forever lay and stay inside herself..

For this is the only safe place for her to remain..
