Trusted Existance

Like a blank canvas and nothing to paint I stare into oblivion with no sign of life Body a statue, so tense locked tight A darkness a shadow, will never leave my sight To someone so little a very trusting existance On reflection such an intrusion of innocence Adults speak such lies which look like truth Freightened, confused, just run and hide Locked away files, memories stored in the mind Permanent, cannot be erased, scared for life Sometimes thoughts stone cold, my heart is dead To this day fight to feel free, a will to the very end

Yet another great write Shaz..I really love your work.!!! "Adults speak such lies that look like truth" I try not to associate myself with one who is not honest.

Children are a blank cnavas, and the pictures painted there, remain until death. I relate to this poem.

"To someone so little a very trusting existance On reflection such an intrusion of innocence" I like this so very much
