Fairytale Princess Poem by Connie L. Burchett

To All The Children And Adults Of Abuse


Fairytale Princess

A little Fairytale Princess is what you will always be to
me with your long dark hair always blowing in the wind.
Eyes of hazel always changing color with your every
mood; how your eyes did sparkled when you smiled and the
sound of your laughter would fill up the room.

So young and innocence so full of life, it was all but
a dream. How you would run and played in the fields all
day to your hearts delight; remembering the butterflies
dancing about. A spirit so sweet but wild and free with
so much love to give and spread around.

Who would ever dream that life could be so cruel but
I found out that day you were stripped from me.
What was taken from you that night no one had that right!
For that was your right to give away on your special day.

The quilt, the shame and the horrible pain is to much for
a child of eight to bare: wandering when? Will it ever end?
Your childhood gone and stripped away never to return.
Oh! Why did you have to grow up way to fast?

That beautiful child of only eight now gone and lost forever:
A broken spirit, no hopes or dreams of what life might
have been is now shattered and toss upon the ground.
Her facial expression is a blank upon her face and her eyes
are dull, no sparkle remains.

No reason to ever let a smile touch her lips again or to brighten
up someone's day. Such a lonely and frighten child now wandering
how people can be so cold and so cruel: they don’t know nor
do they understand her pain, the shame and the guilt she carries
around; they think it’s all her fault.

Their laughter and calling her names echoes’ through out the night;
as she cries softly to her self so no one else can hear and wishes it
would all come to an end. No one knows and no one really cares
about the emotional scars she must bare, till the end of her life.

Come to me, my Little Fairytale Princess for you can see that I am
all grown up and now I can protect you the way it should have been
that night so long ago. Never again will you be afraid of the night
when you close your eyes in sleep; I will always be there with you
all through the night. No more tears will you ever shed again
from the pain, no more new scars will you ever have bare.

I will wrap my arms around you so you will always feel safe and
the love that should have been yours so long ago. You will know
what a treasure you are to me and one to behold with that soft and
gentle nature that I have grown to love so.

Come and be one with me so our spirit can be wild and free as
it was at the tender age of eight. There's no need to rush just
take your time to be that child again and one day soon you will catch
up with me. Please don’t feel need to run or take flight the way you did
so many times when you were scared.

My little Fairytale Princess one day you will see how you have always
been a part of me. One day soon you will find true love and inner
peace that will make everything all right. When that day comes then we can really be free….
