Here I Stand

Here I stand With no shoulder to cry on Staring into empty space At an unrecognizable face After feeling so much Why do I feel nothing now All I tried to do was laugh and play Tried to love and please Did everything I could So much more than was asked And yet, I failed Now I see you walking away While here I stand With no shoulder to cry on I hear your footsteps and fading voice The screams and the anger still attached What was it I did so wrong To make you feel so much Why do I feel nothing now And can’t even reach out to touch I no longer feel my breath I no longer feel my heart I was just a child As I watch you walk away Why do I feel nothing now Why are we both left With no shoulder to cry on NOTE*** Death should never be seen through the eyes of a child as you walk away… Child Abuse… let’s stop it! Not tomorrow, not today, but now!!!
