As a Child

As a child been looking for the love’ n As a child been looking for the touch ‘n As a child been looking for that feel ‘n As a child been needing to feel supported As a child been needing to feel protected As a child Was taught to feel afraid As a child Has been shelter and ignored As a child I could see the stress within my mother’s eyes As a child I was never taught that love comes from within As a child I was taught distress and now my body cries As a child I hid in my mind I opened a door and protected my life As a child I was young and frail but I was guided within too. As a child I have always seen a very bright light and I knew. As a child The pain I went through but the person I have become The Man Is someone New
