Broken Hearted Child

Broken Hearted Child You did your best, while you could Until it ended like a knife cutting sharp I was taken from you where I stood Memories played a song like a harp A song that played through the years Times of freedom where I could be me Carrying me through days and nights of fears When it was you, I needed to see It never should have happened that way Misplaced where I didn’t belong Silenced, without being able to say All that happened that was wrong I lived in a world, laws didn’t mean a thing To those who did the crimes in front of me I played piano and I tried to sing Made promises to speak later, of what I see Here I am, writing words from years ago About when they forced you to leave Wishing only that you could know A broken hearted child, still grieves Heidi Sands 3/28/18
