Child Scars Last a Lifetime

Do you cry with tears 
With thoughts of family 
Do you run inside, away
When your hearts says to stay


Weathering storms 
Fearing monsters so near
Those who where supposed to be so dear
Before standing so near
Quiet and still 
Running away through 
Open arms


Hiding around 
Never hanger around
Silently alone 
Doors, walls, sheltered in stone
A protective layer
All you know
