Life Poem by Jackie Kirby

In this life i fail to see
Happiness are dreams
come true
The moment born
i ceased to exist
Dark secrets within
would horrified any
man.
Beneath the mask that
all do see
Is a heart searching
to be loved
Truth be known there
are two of me
One that keeps the untold
secrets
An the one that wears
the mask
Know that the real
me
Tries so hard to stay
close to God
above
No matter what evil comes
my way
In darken cave where my
heart stays
In order to survive.
When a child is abused
The scar are there for life
But the abuser goes on
an all is forgotten
