Broken Child Poem by Simone Netjie Meyer

She was a chosen child,
The one who never cared,
She seemed so strong,
but cried at night in bed,
nobody knew it,
cuz she acted all happy,
nobody ever saw it,
she was too good at acting,
all her pain was kept inside,
she forgot about it,
she didnt care,
until one day,
she did dare,
She finally broke,
she gave up the fake smile,
she cried and cried,
until tears, there were none,
everything that was asked,
she denied,
she was to scared to smile!
so she kept her distance.
until this one guy came,
and so she fell for him!
he swept her off her feet.
little did she know,
he would also just use her,
AGAIN
it went great for about a month or so,
then again all odds turned against her!
he left her
not giving a damn
he threw her away,
leaving her in unasked for pain!

Right now she's only keeping it real,
actually still hard to deal,
but she keeping her head high,
like she always did,
going on...
like everything's just
