In the Past

In The past I was a child Filled with love and feelings When an adult came up to me And took away those feelings Innocence, guilt, and hatred Were the words on my mind Petrified I was when next to him And couldn’t move any part He was going so strong on me With hate in his eyes Command from his mouth And roughness from his hands Tied I was in the bed With no body part moves All I did was fear for my life And wish I can just live For a few more days and months Just to see my family members Who cared for me and always will No matter what I do I made him finish his thing And then I was free To do whatever I enjoy and please To live my life peacefully To prosper and grow Into a successful human being In order to achieve What family expects of me To be a better man And make sure always and ever That they are living happily Religion is important to them And so it is to me To give us faith In what we believe Is right in order To live life and prosper through it.
