Childhood

My childhood was hard,I didn't grow hungry or poor,but I was starved for attention and acceptance. This is a poem about those feelings. I hope you enjoy

The trauma effect

A child unwanted

Their heart left mute

A smile hides the pain

They learn to lie

The wants they seek

They find In the unreal

Their heart is shaped

By expectations unfulfilled

Unwanted,unwashed and unloved

Approval they seek

But never find

Smiles,lies,and rejections

Are all they are have
