A Flawed Child

A young child lives in an illusion, that everything will turn out right. As they get broken and torn from life, their imperfect world is cracked wide open. Are they really flawed, or are these just their feelings coming through. As they get older, many wear a mask to hide their pain and hurt. The life they had longed for, now has become just a facade.

This is so true of abuse in any form. It changes a person from who they could become into someone else. Reads like a good contender to me in the contest. Sara

Hello Paula … as a child the world was carefree as I protected by my parents, but once I had responsibilities there were many highs and lows - a very good poem indeed Paula - Lindsay
