From one destructive life into another....My life was never boring :) I thank God, for he was always my shelter :) Alone I was never in a yearbook I wasn’t in your class You never saw me wandering I do not seem to have a past My fears were never mentioned I didn’t have a mouth You never saw me in the day You never heard me shout I walked in darkness daily What light I saw was pale I ran in winter to be free But got caught and was jailed They set me free, but I was watched The rules I broke, I paid a price The days were long, as was my wish That I would find someplace nice I build my armor from within My voice was silent, years would pass I found a home, just another nightmare Time was short it would not last Adventures follow for a loner Off once more I go alone Far from the place where I was born Far from the lies, they called my home Another place I built new memories Wrought not with anger, nor with pain New friends await a weary traveler Someone new gives me a name I had new memories, built for a future Five years I spent in love with life But time was short, I was mislead And eventually came under someone’s knife The cuts and scars that maimed my body Experiments I could not control I walked into a living nightmare All I had was a thread that I could barely hold Like Alice in Wonderland, I fell down a shaft And came out into a world not many know And like the prisons, I knew as a child © Giggles the Poet 1988 A new story begins, thank you for being in my world my angels. Each day we grow and transform in was e didn't think possible :) May you be safe May you be Healthy May you be Loved May you be
