Haunts me when I sleep!
Present thoughts and feelings, how long will they last?
Memories of horrors and things in my past.
Emotions are reeling, from happy to sad,
Sitting here thinking, 'Was I really bad?'
Deep down I know, I was a normal child,
Though quiet and reserved, I wasn't wild.
Always did, just what I was told,
Wouldn't dare not, Wasn't that bold!
SO why do I feel all this sorrow and pain?
Just like I'm re-living it all again.
My feelings and thoughts trapped in a mood,
Nothing I can do, if only I could!
Banish the thoughts, extinguish the feelings,
Then maybe my moods wouldn't be reeling.
Feeling I need to spend time alone,
Sorting out my head, my heart, my no go zone!
Safe in my life now, with good friends around,
Helping me to keep, my feet on the ground.
But no one can see my pain or my sorrow,
I'll tell them one day, it won't be tomorrow.
Friday this week another tough day,
The Anniversary date, the second of May.
Returned to my family, after being Abused..
Continued the cycle, once again used!
Nobody noticed and nobody cared,
The pain in my body, forever remains scared.
I could not tell them, just what he'd done,
I knew they'd blame me, cause I was just one.
The one little person, who nobody cared for,
I was used to the feelings, I'd felt them before.
So I kept it all quiet, buried it deep,
But now in my life, it haunts me when I sleep.
