Virginia Waters Poet Rhyme

Oh, Go Away Yesterday

No comforting arms when bad dreams come,
Only confusion inside, What have I done?
Seems like there should have been, a lot more fun.
                    Oh, go away yesterday

Running with broken arm, too scared to cry,
Living in limbo not afraid to die,
Feeling forsaken, not knowing why.
                   Oh, go away yesterday

My special treasures given to others,
Always wishing for non-existent brothers,
Never, ever dare say the fault was mothers' 
                  Oh, go away yesterday

Emotions so hidden, protection the only call,
Neglect culminates in long concrete fall,
Destiny is breathless, will that be all?
                 Oh, go away yesterday
