SILENTLY LETTING GO OF ALL MY TEARS
CRYING ABOUT ALL MY CHILD YEARS
TRYING TO FORGET FOREVER
BUT I CANT NOW, NOR NEVER
TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE
I STILL REMEMBER THAT PLACE
IT WAS COLD, DARK AND SCARY
AT THAT TIME I BELIEVED IN A FAIRY
I CANT REMEMBER HER NAME
THE FAIRY OF DREAMS
SHE WOULD COME AND TAKE AWAY MY PAIN
SHE NEVER CAME, I WAITED AND WAITED
THE DARK ROOM DRIVING ME INSANE
EVERYDAY I SCREAMED FOR HER TO HELP ME GET OUT
IT NEVER HELPED, I WAS STUCK THERE
AND NO ONE EVER DID CARE
LOCKED UP IN A ROOM
TO THINK ABOUT THE BAD THINGS I HAVE DONE
BECAUSE SOMETIMES I WAS BAD
AND SOMETIMES I DID MAKE MY FATHER MAD
AFTER THREE DAYS IT WAS OVER
I COULD COME OUT AND EAT MY FIRST MEAL
THAT JUST HAPPEND WHEN DADDY WAS SOBER
There is so much sadness & the seriousness of these lines make it hard to comment without feeling. This is excellently written, with a maturity, born too soon of one who has had to face such hardships in life. We have to keep writing it out & keep on keeping on. God Bless & keep you, luv T
The perpetrators of this insane act should be locked up for life! !

The last line hits like a hammer and makes my fists clench. I would beat abusive parent s within an inch of their lives, honestly. Mine were wonderful and I cannot understand people who would harm children like this. Your work has a thread of pain and emotional turmoil to it. I hope it is not all autobiographical? Peace of mind to you.
