Permanent Scars

Once upon a time I was a girl who had dreams I stood out and brought light to a crowd, making life easier than it seamed I was a young girl who looked forward to the blue skies and the morning wind Always wanted to run, scream, and play, never wanting the day to end Sometimes picking flowers, making mud pies, or climbing apple trees Too busy to stay in one spot, to much to do in one day, starting off with loosing my mothers keys. I miss those happy sunsets, and my pillow full of wondrous thoughts and dreams So sad, a story so happy ended at age 6, now life is harder than it has ever seamed Now age 17 and each new day means a new permanent scar Loved ones ripped from my heart, no light is left, each was the light of a star Smiles replaced by frowns, laughter replaced by tears, and love replaced with hate, People say it wont last forever, your special day will soon arrive, just be patient and wait. No more sunny days, or morning winds, just rainy days and cold nights Will these days last forever? I'm lost! Which way do I turn, left or right?
