Michelle Morris Poet Rhyme

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

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
