I'M Just a Kid

Some of us were children who didn't have a childhood. We had to be the grown-ups in our family. If you resonate with this, I'm truly sorry. It's a tough situation to deal with and survive. I hope you get through it. I hope you find your way. I hope you have a good life one day. I'm just a kid By Michelle Morris 29/03/2023 I'm just a kid I'm powerless and small Too young to defend myself Against a world at war You're the grown-ups You're meant to take the lead You're supposed to protect us Against monsters and demons There goes my innocence There goes my heart There goes my childhood There goes my start I hope to get through this I hope I'll find my way I hope to have a good life One day... One day... I was just a kid I was gentle and kind I was sweet and innocent I was a soul sublime You were my whole world You were my whole heart How is it that our parents Are the ones who tear us apart? Who knows why it happens? Who knows why they do it? Who knows what the future holds? Who knows if we'll get through this? My heart became broken Bit by bit through each trauma My soul became weighed down By every single encounter But I was resilient each time I tried to hold on to faith I tried to hold on to hope And planned my final escape I left home with determination To be completely different to my folks Learning such harsh life lessons At too young an age to truly cope And yes, I am damaged I have darkness I had to fight I've worked through ancestral issues And set my soul free to the Light I'm a grown-up now And I try to make good choices To be a Lightworker and Earth Angel And listen to Heaven's voices © Michelle Morris, 2023
