Lost

There once was a girl who had simplicity. Her life seemed full of everlasting sunshine. Then came the dreaded day when Purity disappears from inside As the truth comes crashing in Realization becomes her curse Her mommy had become a complexity. And daddy, her once superman... Well, apparently he no longer seemed to care. As she watched him walk away Her innocence was purged. As she watched him walk away Her fantasy life burned. Parenting herself through the pain She had the world to blame Answers were distant Her mind in solitary confinement Somebody had to see Somebody had to care Ultimately she had to come to understand That’s life and there’s no one, but herself. As she began to walk away Her strength emerged As she began to walk away Her prevailing life endured.

Hi Grace. Don't know why I was drawn to this write. So sorry for what you have been through. Stolen childhoods are devastating. Was captured by your words and couldn't stop reading. Love, Shar
