The Broken Child Poem by qspinner spins

sometime when i close my eyes
i see what my emotion hides
what i try to keep suppressed
so i don’t look too depressed

behind every smile i give
every moment i relive

i see the flashback
of this father beating a kid
causing an anxiety attack
full of panics and screams
struggles that seems
endless

all the traumas
and these dramas
made the four year olds'
heart run cold
till he locks himself up
with his own imagination
of magical elves
and fairy tale outcomes
cause this was his only gateway
to escape this nightmare

now that this boy has grown
taken what life has thrown
at him. he fully cloaks
his emotions

nobody knows this
flawless teen
was once
a broken child.
