The Wall That Names Me
The little girl inside of me, the one I once knew.
Spun in life's confusion; a smile to hide
what I've been through!
That little girls name was...Kerrie Pooh.
My smile, a weapon I grew to glow,
Hiding the secret I'd never want anyone to know!
My home a comfort no one should bare.
I kept looking out for anyone to care!
My childhood dream of how it could be,
when no one could touch me!
Just one night was all I asked,
I'd pray for just one night without him to pass!
Many years went by as I stared
deeplyinto the sky...
Heaven take me this I cannot bare.
I have to hide and this I cannot share!
This boy, a monster who loved me only in the dark,
had a father who beat my mother and if he knew
he'd tear her apart!
My brother and sister with all of their tears,
I fought each night to comfort their fears.
Daisy, a name the monster's father gave me,
not knowing "Daisy" was the wall I built to save me!
