Frightened Child Poem by Pink Pixie

The past is filled with so many questions and doubts,
Answers I have spent my life desperate to find out.
Memories come in fragmented pieces always distorted and unclear,
Unknown voices whispering words I was never meant to hear.
Wearing a smile that I will never truly own,
The sad little girl always searching for a home.
Almost as if maybe I'm not really even here,
The same reality year after year.
A ghost of myself trapped in another time.
A life that was never really meant to be mine.
Endless searches for answers, all still so very unknown.
To questions from the frightened child, who is now fully grown.
Blinded by the unknown, yet desperate to finally see.
Trapped in the past, unable to break free.
The darkness it beckons me, whispering come back inside.
Promising me shelter, and a safe place to hide.
My constant searches, they all end in vain,
Once again I am left alone, drowning in the pain.
The reality is that I may never really know,
The reasons this frightened child inside refuses to let me go.
