Tear Stained Sheets

Tears stained my little sheets, my soul aches, Fears was I knew as a child, I was so scared, Cheers were foreign to me, didn’t get breaks, Spears of hate festered within, life unprepared, Why did I suffer such unbearable pain, and hurt, My experience as a child scared me to the core, I wondered why I was even alive, I felt like dirt, By the time I‘m grown my existence was a bore, Contest: Let’s Write A Lento Sponsor: Dear Heart 01/11/2020

I can see from your comments beneath here that this was a "true" pouring of emotion based on your childhood. Sorry you had to endure that. Congrats on your win, Alexis.(also I am glad to hear your new year is going well)

a very sad and emotive write for this contest.. did you know trail of tears originates from the time the native indians were forced to walk miles and miles from one place to another. many died and all of them lost their homelands.. and then some complain about immigrants!!!

I know I didn’t have to, but once you gave me the history I was compelled to change it;-) Alexis

Hi Sandra, I appreciate you commenting on this sad verse. Although this was hard to write, I pen these types of poems, for the younger me ,the grown up me and other’s like me. A child should never have to endure such pain. I appreciate you reading my truth. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis
